What is period?

This sets the automatic cable diagnostic scanning interval, where a value of 0 means scanning is manual only. Admins configure this to have the device periodically run cable diagnostics automatically rather than needing to trigger each scan manually. Setting period to 60 would have the device automatically run a cable diagnostic scan roughly every 60 units of the configured scanning interval, while leaving it at 0 requires the admin to trigger scans manually.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.63.1.8.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NMS-IF-MIB::period

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.63.1.8.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NMS-IF-MIB::period.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.63.1.8.1.3.1 i <value>
