mscTrkPaTrunkCost

Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-PorsTrunksMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-PorsTrunksMIB::mscTrkPaTrunkCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.60.4.10.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute is the cost metric for the trunk. This value is assigned by the network administration to represent the network cost of using this trunk. It can be related to distance, speed, dollars, or any other factor that could be taken into consideration. If the trunkAttributeToMinimize is set to trunkCost, PORS finds a route with the smallest sum of the PathAdmin trunkCost attribute over all trunks. The trunk cost can be increased or decreased without disrupting the service to the link. If it is increased and the PORS optimization feature is enabled calls will move off this link to lower cost links when possible. If the cost is decreased new calls will be attracted to this link.

What is mscTrkPaTrunkCost?

Read-write cost metric (1-255, default 128) assigned to this trunk for route optimization; PORS can prefer the route with the lowest total trunk cost, and changing this value live shifts new (and optionally existing) calls toward cheaper links.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.60.4.10.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-PorsTrunksMIB::mscTrkPaTrunkCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.60.4.10.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-PorsTrunksMIB::mscTrkPaTrunkCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.60.4.10.1.7.1 i <value>
