mscLpEngArcOvTxCellMemoryAllocation

Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-AtmBaseMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-AtmBaseMIB::mscLpEngArcOvTxCellMemoryAllocation

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.23.5.2.10.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute specifies the fraction of the transmit memory which should be allocated to the transmission of cells on an FP. The remaining memory is allocated for the transmission of frames. Frame memory is used for trunks, ATM VCC testing and for inter- card communication. Cell memory is used for Atm Bearer Service, ATM SVCs and ATM PVCs.

There is an absolute minimum quantity of frame buffers which is required by ATM software on the FP. If the value of this attribute is smaller than the absolute minimum, the ATM software allocates the minimum required, rather than the actual number requested.

The actual percentage of the transmit memory allocated to the transmit cell memory is indicated by the Arc txCellMemoryAllocation attribute. A difference between the provisioned and the operational values may exist due to the requirement for a minimum number of frame buffers or rounding during computation within the FP.

What is mscLpEngArcOvTxCellMemoryAllocation?

Sets the fraction of transmit memory on this FP allocated to cell traffic versus frame traffic, default 50%; the actual applied value (which can differ slightly due to minimum frame-buffer requirements) is reported back in mscLpEngArcTxCellMemoryAllocation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.23.5.2.10.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-AtmBaseMIB::mscLpEngArcOvTxCellMemoryAllocation

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.23.5.2.10.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-AtmBaseMIB::mscLpEngArcOvTxCellMemoryAllocation.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.23.5.2.10.1.3.1 i <value>
