ds3IdleUnassignedCells

Module: Fore-DS3-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-DS3-MIB::ds3IdleUnassignedCells

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.3.1.1.1.13

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 ds3IdleUnassignedCells?

A read-write setting choosing which ATM filler cell type this port transmits when it has no real data to send: unassigned(1) per the ATM Forum spec (the default), or idle(2) per CCITT. Admins generally leave this at the default unless interoperating with equipment that specifically expects CCITT idle cells.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.3.1.1.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-DS3-MIB::ds3IdleUnassignedCells

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.3.1.1.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-DS3-MIB::ds3IdleUnassignedCells.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.3.1.1.1.13.1 i <value>
