isisSysLevelSetOverload

Module: ISIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): ISIS-MIB::isisSysLevelSetOverload

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.2.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: Administratively set the overload bit for the level. The overload bit MUST continue to be set if the implementation runs out of memory, independent of this variable. It may also be set manually independent of this variable, using the isisSysLevelSetOverloadUntil object.

What is isisSysLevelSetOverload?

Manually forces the overload bit on for this level, which tells other routers not to use this router as a transit hop even though it stays reachable itself. The bit stays set automatically if the router genuinely runs low on memory, regardless of this setting.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ISIS-MIB::isisSysLevelSetOverload

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ISIS-MIB::isisSysLevelSetOverload.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.2.1.1.5.1 s <value>
