Description: This attribute indicates the importance of the packets on the path. One(1) is used for paths carrying the most important traffic, and three(3) is used for paths carrying the least important traffic. Packets with lower discardPriority(numerically higher) are discarded after packets with a higher discardPriority(numerically lower).

What is mscHtdsPlcDiscardPriority?

The importance (1=most important to 3=least important, default 2) of packets on this path, used to decide what gets dropped first under congestion -- packets at higher discardPriority numbers are shed before those at lower numbers. Set this to 1 for traffic that must survive congestion longest, and to 3 for traffic that can tolerate being dropped first.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.82.3.10.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-HdlcTransparentMIB::mscHtdsPlcDiscardPriority

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.82.3.10.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-HdlcTransparentMIB::mscHtdsPlcDiscardPriority.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.82.3.10.1.15.1 i <value>
