nbsPrbsGenAction

Module: NBS-PRBS-MIB

OID (symbolic): NBS-PRBS-MIB::nbsPrbsGenAction

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.212.2.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Used to initiate and terminate pattern generation from this port.

If pattern generation is not available from this port, Agent will report notSupported(1). Any SET attempts will be rejected.

To generate a bitstream, user should SET this object to start(3).

To terminate a bitstream, user should SET this object to stop(2).

When read, Agent should report the value last SET. Agent may report stop(2) after a system reboot, or after it halts pattern generation because the time specified in nbsPrbsGenDuration elapsed.

What is nbsPrbsGenAction?

The control an admin sets to start(3) or stop(2) PRBS bitstream generation on this port; it always reads back the last value set (or reverts to stop after a reboot or when nbsPrbsGenDuration elapses), and reads as notSupported(1) with sets rejected on ports that can't generate patterns.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.212.2.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NBS-PRBS-MIB::nbsPrbsGenAction

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.212.2.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NBS-PRBS-MIB::nbsPrbsGenAction.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.212.2.2.1.6.1 i <value>
