rateType

Module: ETHERNET-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETHERNET-MIB::rateType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: EthRateLimitTypeT

Access: read-write

Description: Ethernet rate limit type, default is KBPS

What is rateType?

This object selects the unit, kilobits per second or megabits per second, used when specifying the Ethernet port's rate limit value, defaulting to kbps. Admins set it depending on whether they need fine-grained control at low bandwidths or a simpler value for higher-bandwidth limits. For example, an admin capping a port at 512 kbps would set this to kbps(0) before configuring the corresponding rate limit value.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETHERNET-MIB::rateType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETHERNET-MIB::rateType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.6.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

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