vmIfMode
Module: Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VirtualMediaMIB
OID (symbolic): Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VirtualMediaMIB::vmIfMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.133.2.15.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This attribute specifies the mode of operation of the Vm If. Two modes are supported: alwaysUpInterface and interVrConnection.
alwaysUpInterface: This mode limits the Vm If to provide the functionality of an 'always up interface' only. Inter-VR communcation is not possible when this mode is selected. Memory consumption by the Vm If is significantly less on FP when this mode is selected. Hence this mode should be used when the sole purpose of the Vm If is to provide an always up interface for application like BGP4.
interVrConnection: This mode provides the full capability of VirtualMedia, i.e. 'always up interface' and inter-VR communication.
What is vmIfMode?
This object selects which of the two supported functions the vmIf provides: alwaysUpInterface restricts it to acting solely as an always-up IP interface (for example for BGP-4) with lower memory consumption on the forwarding processor, while interVrConnection enables full VirtualMedia capability including communication between virtual routers. An admin picks alwaysUpInterface when the sole purpose is a stable interface for a routing protocol, or interVrConnection when they specifically need inter-VR traffic to pass through this VirtualMedia. It defaults to alwaysUpInterface, the lighter-weight mode.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.133.2.15.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VirtualMediaMIB::vmIfMode
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.133.2.15.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VirtualMediaMIB::vmIfMode.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.133.2.15.1.1.1 i <value>
