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.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.5.1.1.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-E3-MIB::e3IdleUnassignedCells

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.5.1.1.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-E3-MIB::e3IdleUnassignedCells.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.5.1.1.1.13.1 i <value>
