Module: Fore-Switch-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-Switch-MIB::hwPortTAXILoopback

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.2.3.1.15

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Description: This variable represents the loopback status of a TAXI port. For non-TAXI ports (e.g. DS3/E3 or SONET) the loopback configuration should be set in their specific tables.

What is hwPortTAXILoopback?

This read-write parameter controls whether a TAXI port operates in normal passthrough mode (1) or loopback testing mode (2) for diagnostic and maintenance purposes. Loopback mode connects transmitted frames back to the receiver to test port functionality. An operator would enable loopback when performing port diagnostics or validating TAXI line card operation without affecting live traffic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.2.3.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::hwPortTAXILoopback

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.2.3.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::hwPortTAXILoopback.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.2.3.1.15.1 i <value>
