eHostPurge

Module: LANtern-MIB

OID (symbolic): LANtern-MIB::eHostPurge

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.2.27

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Time

Access: read-write

Description: Writing a date and time to eHostPurge causes the LANtern network monitor to purge all host table entries eHostTable where the date and time of both the most recent transmission and reception is earlier than that specified. All matrix entries (eMatrixSDTable and eMatrixDSTable) associated with the deleted host entries are also deleted. Hosts with the purge disable flag set are not deleted. Reading this variable returns the date and time of the last purge. The value returned is 0 (midnight 1 January 1900), if the table has never been purged.

What is eHostPurge?

Write a date/time to sweep out any eHostTable entries whose most recent transmit and receive activity both predate it (also cascading to delete their eMatrixSDTable/eMatrixDSTable rows), unless the host's inhibitPurgeBit is set in eHostControl; reading it back returns the time of the last purge (0 if never purged).
