gsEBufferPriorityAllocation
Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB
OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferPriorityAllocation
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This object controls how much of the total buffer space should be allocated to high priority queue. Please be warned that setting this object to a different value causes the associated buffer to reset, causing a short loss of data.
Setting the value of this object to none(1) not only allocates the entire buffer space to normal traffic, but also has the side effect of disabling the priority threshold. In other words, all traffic will be considered as normal priority traffic.
What is gsEBufferPriorityAllocation?
Sets what fraction of this buffer's total memory is reserved for the high-priority queue, from none(1) (all memory goes to normal traffic, disabling the priority threshold entirely) up to fiftyPercent(6). Changing this value resets the buffer, causing a brief burst of data loss, so admins do it during a maintenance window rather than live.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferPriorityAllocation
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferPriorityAllocation.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.8.1 i <value>
