ds1IdleUnassignedCells

Module: Fore-DS1-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-DS1-MIB::ds1IdleUnassignedCells

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.7.1.1.1.13

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This variable indicates the types of cells that should be sent in case there is no real data to send. According to the ATM Forum, Unassigned cells should be sent (octet 1-3 are 0's, octet 4 is 0000xxx0, where x is 'don't care'). According to the CCITT specifications, Idle cells should be sent (everything is '0' except for the CLP bit which is '1'). By default, unassigned cells are transmitted is case there is no data to send.

What is ds1IdleUnassignedCells?

Sets which type of filler cell the port transmits when there is no real ATM traffic to send: unassigned(1) cells per the ATM Forum convention (the factory default), or idle(2) cells per the CCITT convention. Interop issues with some far-end ATM equipment can sometimes be resolved by switching this setting.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.7.1.1.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-DS1-MIB::ds1IdleUnassignedCells

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.7.1.1.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-DS1-MIB::ds1IdleUnassignedCells.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.7.1.1.1.13.1 i <value>
