e1IdleUnassignedCells

Module: Fore-E1-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-E1-MIB::e1IdleUnassignedCells

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.8.1.1.1.11

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 e1IdleUnassignedCells?

Selects what filler cells this E1/ATM port sends when there's no real data: unassigned(1), the ATM Forum default, or idle(2) per CCITT spec - an interop setting that normally should match what the far end expects.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.8.1.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-E1-MIB::e1IdleUnassignedCells

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.8.1.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-E1-MIB::e1IdleUnassignedCells.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.8.1.1.1.11.1 i <value>
