ibSmaSwLifeTimeValue

Module: IB-SMA-MIB

OID (symbolic): IB-SMA-MIB::ibSmaSwLifeTimeValue

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.3.1.2.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-only

Description: Reports the time a packet can live in the switch. This Lifetime Value (LV) is used as a parameter to calculate Switch Lifetime Limit (SLL) value. To calculate a valid SLL, the LV must be between 0 and 19, inclusive. If the LV value is greater than 19, the SLL is to be interpreted as infinite.

What is ibSmaSwLifeTimeValue?

Reports the Lifetime Value (0-19, or 'infinite' if greater) used to compute the switch's packet-lifetime limit; a network engineer tunes this alongside ibSmaPortHeadOfQueueLife when calculating how long a stuck packet can linger in the switch before being dropped.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.3.1.2.8
