nscHippiSonetThreshold

Module: NSCHippiSonet-MIB

OID (symbolic): NSCHippiSonet-MIB::nscHippiSonetThreshold

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.1.5.6.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Threshold of the mega-fifo at which flow control will be activated. The value represents 8ths of the fifo with 7 representing the fifo must be full before flow control is activated and 0 indicating that flow control will happen as soon as the mega-fifo starts to fill. This value may need to be adjusted to deal with time delays over vary long sonet links in that you want flow control to propagate back to the transmitting sonet box before it puts enough information on the line to overflow this machine.

What is nscHippiSonetThreshold?

This read-write INTEGER (0-7) sets, in eighths of the Mega FIFO's capacity, the fill threshold at which flow control activates — 7 means the FIFO must be nearly full before flow control kicks in, 0 means flow control starts as soon as it begins filling. An admin lowers this value on very long SONET links so flow control has enough lead time to propagate back to the transmitting box before the FIFO overflows, per the MIB's own guidance.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.1.5.6.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NSCHippiSonet-MIB::nscHippiSonetThreshold

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.1.5.6.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NSCHippiSonet-MIB::nscHippiSonetThreshold.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.1.5.6.9.1 i <value>
