msdpCacheLifetime

Module: MSDP-MIB

OID (symbolic): MSDP-MIB::msdpCacheLifetime

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.92.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TimeTicks

Access: read-write

Description: The lifetime given to SA cache entries when created or refreshed. This is the [SG-State-Period] in the MSDP spec. A value of 0 means no SA caching is done by this MSDP speaker.

Changes to this object should be stored to non-volatile memory.

This object does not measure time per se; instead, it is the delta from the time at which an SA message is received at which it should be expired if not refreshed. (i.e., it is the value of msdpSACacheExpiryTime immediately after receiving an SA message applying to that row.) As such, TimeInterval would be a more appropriate SYNTAX; it remains TimeTicks for backwards compatibility.

What is msdpCacheLifetime?

Sets how long a Source-Active cache entry lives before it expires unless refreshed by a new SA message; a value of 0 means this MSDP speaker does no SA caching at all.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.92.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MSDP-MIB::msdpCacheLifetime

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.92.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MSDP-MIB::msdpCacheLifetime.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.3.92.1.1.2.1 i <value>
