sonetPathDiagnostic

Module: Fore-SONET-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.28

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: This variable controls the insertion of various types of path diagnostic bit patterns in the transmit stream. It is a bit map that is netmod specific. Under normal operation it should be set to:

1 None -- No diagnostics

2 DB3 -- Controls the insertion of eight path BIP-8 errors per frame continuously in the B3 byte. When DB3 is on, the B3 byte is inverted.

What is sonetPathDiagnostic?

A bitmapped control for injecting Path-layer error patterns into this port's transmit stream: DB3 (bit 2) inverts the B3 byte, generating eight path BIP-8 errors per frame; 1 means no diagnostics. An admin sets this temporarily to verify downstream equipment correctly reports path BIP-8 errors, then resets it to 1 afterward.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.28
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-SONET-MIB::sonetPathDiagnostic

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.28.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-SONET-MIB::sonetPathDiagnostic.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.4.1.1.1.28.1 i <value>
