entStateAdmin
Module: ENTITY-STATE-MIB
OID (symbolic): ENTITY-STATE-MIB::entStateAdmin
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: EntityAdminState
Access: read-write
Description: The administrative state for this entity.
This object refers to an entities administrative permission to service both other entities within its containment hierarchy as well other users of its services defined by means outside the scope of this MIB.
Setting this object to 'notSupported' will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error. For entities that do not support administrative state, all set operations will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error.
Some physical entities exhibit only a subset of the remaining administrative state values. Some entities cannot be locked, and hence this object exhibits only the 'unlocked' state. Other entities cannot be shutdown gracefully, and hence this object does not exhibit the 'shuttingDown' state. A value of 'inconsistentValue' will be returned if attempts are made to set this object to values not supported by its administrative model.
What is entStateAdmin?
This object is the administrative lock state an operator sets for a physical entity, controlling whether it's permitted to provide service to other entities and users. Admins write it to take a component in or out of service, for example locking a line card before removing it, though not every entity supports every state value. For example, setting entStateAdmin to locked on a slot administratively shuts it down for planned maintenance, distinct from any hardware failure.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-STATE-MIB::entStateAdmin
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-STATE-MIB::entStateAdmin.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.2.1 s <value>
