dot3PauseOperMode

Module: EtherLike-MIB

OID (symbolic): EtherLike-MIB::dot3PauseOperMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This object reflects the PAUSE mode currently

in use on this interface, as determined by either (1) the result of the auto-negotiation function or (2) if auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, by the value of dot3PauseAdminMode. Interfaces operating at 100 Mb/s or less will never return 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)'. Interfaces operating in half-duplex mode will always return 'disabled(1)'. Interfaces on which auto-negotiation is enabled but not yet completed should return the value 'disabled(1)'.

What is dot3PauseOperMode?

This read-only value reports the PAUSE flow-control mode actually in effect on the interface right now, as resolved by either auto-negotiation or, when that's not active, the dot3PauseAdminMode setting. Admins check it rather than the admin setting alone to see the real operating state, since interfaces at 100 Mb/s or below never report the transmit-only or receive-only values and half-duplex links always show 'disabled'. For example, seeing 'disabled' here on a gigabit port where dot3PauseAdminMode was set to 'enabledXmitAndRcv' would indicate auto-negotiation hasn't completed or negotiated flow control off.

Examples
