dot3PauseAdminMode

Module: EtherLike-MIB

OID (symbolic): EtherLike-MIB::dot3PauseAdminMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to configure the default administrative PAUSE mode for this interface.

This object represents the administratively-configured PAUSE mode for this interface. If auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, the value of this object determines the operational PAUSE mode of the interface whenever it is operating in full-duplex mode. In this case, a set to this object will force the interface into the specified mode.

If auto-negotiation is implemented and enabled for the MAU attached to this interface, the PAUSE mode for this interface is determined by auto-negotiation, and the value of this object denotes the mode to which the interface will automatically revert if/when auto-negotiation is later disabled. Note that when auto-negotiation is running, administrative control of the PAUSE mode may be accomplished using the ifMauAutoNegCapAdvertisedBits object in the MAU-MIB.

Note that the value of this object is ignored when the interface is not operating in full-duplex mode.

An attempt to set this object to 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)' will fail on interfaces that do not support operation at greater than 100 Mb/s.

What is dot3PauseAdminMode?

This read-write setting configures the administratively-intended 802.3 PAUSE flow-control mode for the interface: disabled, transmit-only, receive-only, or both. Admins set it to control flow control behavior when auto-negotiation is off or unsupported, though when auto-negotiation is active this value only takes effect as the fallback mode if negotiation is later disabled. For example, setting this to 'enabledXmitAndRcv' on a storage-network switch port ensures the interface will send and honor PAUSE frames to avoid buffer overruns, once full-duplex mode is confirmed.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> EtherLike-MIB::dot3PauseAdminMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):
