isisCircLevelIDOctet

Module: ISIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): ISIS-MIB::isisCircLevelIDOctet

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.4.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-only

Description: A one-byte identifier for the circuit selected by the Intermediate System.

On point-to-point circuits, the value is used as the Local Circuit ID in point-to-point IIH PDUs transmitted on this circuit. In this case, values of isisCircLevelIDOctet do not need to be unique.

For broadcast circuits, the value is used to generate the LAN ID that will be used if this Intermediate System is elected as the Designated IS on this circuit. The value is required to differ on LANs where the Intermediate System is the Designated Intermediate System.

What is isisCircLevelIDOctet?

A one-byte circuit identifier the router picks for this circuit. On point-to-point links it's simply used in transmitted hellos and doesn't need to be unique; on broadcast (LAN) circuits it feeds into the LAN ID this router would use if elected Designated IS, so on LANs where it is the DIS, the value must be unique.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.4.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ISIS-MIB::isisCircLevelIDOctet

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.4.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ISIS-MIB::isisCircLevelIDOctet.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> isisCircLevelIDOctet.1
