mscVmIfMode
Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VirtualMediaMIB
OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VirtualMediaMIB::mscVmIfMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.133.2.15.1.1
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 mscVmIfMode?
This read-write value sets the operating mode of a VirtualMedia interface: alwaysUpInterface(0), a lightweight mode limited to providing a persistently-up interface (e.g., for BGP4) without inter-VR communication, or interVrConnection(1), which provides full VirtualMedia capability including communication between VirtualRouters. Admins choose alwaysUpInterface(0) to save FP memory when only a stable local interface is needed, and interVrConnection(1) when actual inter-VR traffic must flow through it. For example, an admin who only needs a stable loopback-like interface for a BGP4 session would set mscVmIfMode to alwaysUpInterface(0) to minimize resource consumption.
