cardContainedByIndex

Module: OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB::cardContainedByIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: cardIndex of the parent card which directly contains this card, or 0 if contained by the chassis, or -1 if not applicable nor determinable.

What is cardContainedByIndex?

This deprecated integer value is the cardIndex of the parent card that directly contains this card, with 0 meaning the card is contained by the chassis itself and -1 meaning the relationship is not applicable or cannot be determined. An admin uses it to reconstruct the physical containment hierarchy of cards in a modular chassis, such as a daughter card within a line card. For example, a cardContainedByIndex of 0 identifies a line card as being seated directly in the chassis rather than in another card.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB::cardContainedByIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB::cardContainedByIndex.1
