alarmShortTrapAlarmIndex

Module: METASWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): METASWITCH-MIB::alarmShortTrapAlarmIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.19444.6.2.1.2.85

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-write

Description: A short index for the alarm. This field is typically set to the dot and decimal representation of the Alarm OID. However, whent the length of the Display Name field and the decimal OID exceeds 254 characters, a hash of the OID is used to try and achieve a unique index.

What is alarmShortTrapAlarmIndex?

This carries a short index for the alarm, normally the dot-decimal representation of the alarm's OID; when that plus the display name would exceed 254 characters, a hash of the OID is used instead to keep the index unique. Admins or alarm-processing tools use this compact index to reference a specific alarm without carrying the full OID and display path.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.19444.6.2.1.2.85
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> METASWITCH-MIB::alarmShortTrapAlarmIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.19444.6.2.1.2.85.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> METASWITCH-MIB::alarmShortTrapAlarmIndex.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.19444.6.2.1.2.85.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

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