eHostControl

Module: LANtern-MIB

OID (symbolic): LANtern-MIB::eHostControl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.2.28.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: A collection of control bits and bit fields. These fields are grouped into one object to reduce network traffic (especially over the serial line) during startup. Writing to eHostControl may be used to pre-load entries into the table. This also has the side effect of inhibiting newHost traps for that host.

BITS MEANING 2^0-2^2 3-bit host timeout code 0 - host timeout disabled 1 - 1 minute 2 - 2 minutes 3 - 4 minutes 4 - 8 minutes 5 - 16 minutes 6 - 32 minutes 7 - 64 minutes 2^3 onSegmentBit: if set, host is on LANtern's segment. 2^7 inhibitPurgeBit: if set, inhibit purge for this host.

What is eHostControl?

Packed control bit-field for the host entry: a 3-bit inactivity-timeout code (disabled, or 1 to 64 minutes), an onSegmentBit marking whether the host shares the LANtern's own cable segment, and an inhibitPurgeBit protecting the row from eHostPurge; also usable to pre-load/pin a host entry by writing to a not-yet-existing address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.2.28.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> LANtern-MIB::eHostControl

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.2.28.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> LANtern-MIB::eHostControl.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.2.28.1.12.1 i <value>
