sonetArbitraryPointer

Module: Fore-SONET-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-SONET-MIB::sonetArbitraryPointer

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.25

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: This variable controls bits APTR[9:0] of arbitrary pointer register. It may be used along with the sonetPathPointerDiagnostic variable to generate LOP errors on the outgoing stream.

What is sonetArbitraryPointer?

Sets bits APTR[9:0] of the arbitrary pointer register, used together with sonetPathPointerDiagnostic to deliberately generate Loss Of Pointer (LOP) errors on the outgoing stream for testing. An admin uses this pair of objects to verify that downstream equipment correctly detects and reports LOP conditions.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.25
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-SONET-MIB::sonetArbitraryPointer

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.25.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-SONET-MIB::sonetArbitraryPointer.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.25.1 i <value>
