lsAction

Module: LINKSWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): LINKSWITCH-MIB::lsAction

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.17.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Value when read will be other. Writing a value to this object will result in the associated action taking place. Note that it is possible to disconnect the management station from the LinkSwitch by issuing the disconnect-FDDI or disconnect-Eth actions, depending of course where the management station is connected to the LinkSwitch. For those actions which are tests, the result is in lsTestResult. If the action is disconnect-FDDI, the FDDI ring will function internally for inter-segment frames.

What is lsAction?

Write-only style action trigger for chassis-wide operations: reads back as other(1), but writing values like age-addr-table(2), clear-addr-table(3), disconnect-FDDI(4)/connect-FDDI(5), disconnect-Eth(6)/connect-Eth(7), or one of the test-* values runs that action immediately. Disconnecting the side the management station is attached to can cut off SNMP access to the switch, and test results land in lsTestResult.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.17.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> LINKSWITCH-MIB::lsAction

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.17.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> LINKSWITCH-MIB::lsAction.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.17.11.1 i <value>
