portIfThrottleBack

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfThrottleBack

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

What is portIfThrottleBack?

Enables or disables throttle-back congestion control on this specific port, or inherits the switch-wide defaultThrottleBackMode when set to default(1). An admin can use this to exempt one heavily-loaded port from the switch's normal flow-control behavior.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfThrottleBack

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfThrottleBack.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.6.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> portIfThrottleBack.1
