gsEPortMode

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The mode of this port. When set to enable(1), this port passes data. When set to disable(2), the port does not receive or transmit data, nor does it generate port-level signaling e.g. link integrity pulses.

Note that setting an internal(1) port to disable(2) results in an error.

What is gsEPortMode?

Administratively enables or disables the port; disabled(2) stops it from passing data or even generating link-integrity signaling. Setting an internal(1) port to disabled(2) is rejected, since backplane ports can't be shut down this way.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.5.1 i <value>
