flowFloodMode
Module: FLOW-METER-MIB
OID (symbolic): FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: Indicates that the meter has passed its FloodMark and is not running in its normal mode.
When the manager notices this it should take action to remedy the problem which caused the flooding. It should then monitor flowActiveFlows so as to determine when the flood has receded. At that point the manager may set flowFloodMode to false(2) to resume normal operation.
What is flowFloodMode?
Reports whether the meter has passed its flood mark and switched out of normal operating mode; a manager can set this back to false(2) once flowActiveFlows shows the flood has receded, resuming normal operation. An admin treats a true value here as a signal to investigate what is driving the surge in flows.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.9 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMode
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.9.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMode.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.9.1 s <value>
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> flowFloodMode.1
