mscModNodePrefix

Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-BaseShelfMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-BaseShelfMIB::mscModNodePrefix

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.16.10.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: AsciiString

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute specifies an NSAP prefix which is distributed to all other Passport nodes within a Topology region and by which this node can be identified. This prefix is used by PORS, PNNI routing, and Data Shunts.

PORS calls that use NSAP addressing (for example, CES) will look for the node with the longest NSAP prefix that matches the called party address. The NSAP prefixes that PORS matches against are the nodePrefix and the alternatePorsPrefixes.

PNNI forms the default value of the nodeAddressPrefix under the AtmPnni component with this NSAP prefix followed by a unique MAC address.

Data Shunts uses the nodePrefix to form an NSAP address that is registered with the Networking API. This NSAP address is used to identify this node when establishing a Data Shunt.

The value entered must be 26 characters long. All characters must be hexadecimal with the following restrictions: - the first two characters must be either '39', '45', or '47' - if the first two characters are '45', the 18th character must be an 'f' or an 'F'

What is mscModNodePrefix?

Sets a 26-hex-character NSAP address prefix distributed to other Passport nodes in the same Topology region, used by PORS call routing, PNNI's default node address prefix, and Data Shunts to identify this node; the first two characters must be '39', '45', or '47', with an additional restriction on the 18th character when they are '45'.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.16.10.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-BaseShelfMIB::mscModNodePrefix

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.16.10.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-BaseShelfMIB::mscModNodePrefix.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.16.10.1.5.1 s <value>
