mainDetectionMethod

Module: MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB

OID (symbolic): MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB::mainDetectionMethod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.7428.1.2.2.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Read/Write PD device detection method (802.3af / 802.3af+Legacy).

What is mainDetectionMethod?

This object configures the PD detection method used by the midspan: standard 802.3af/at detection only, or 802.3af/at plus legacy (pre-standard) detection. Admins enable legacy detection support when they need to power older, non-standards-compliant powered devices, or restrict to standards-only detection for stricter compliance. For example, an admin with a mix of modern and legacy PoE devices would set this to ieee8023afatandlegacy(2) to ensure the older equipment is still detected and powered.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7428.1.2.2.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB::mainDetectionMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7428.1.2.2.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB::mainDetectionMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7428.1.2.2.1.1.3.1 i <value>
