etherPortLoopback
Module: PORT-MIB
OID (symbolic): PORT-MIB::etherPortLoopback
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Enables/disables loopback mode.
What is etherPortLoopback?
This enables or disables loopback mode on an Ethernet port, looping transmitted signal back for testing. A technician turns loopback on temporarily to verify the port's transmit and receive circuitry without needing a connected far-end device. It should normally be left at disable(2) since enabling it takes the port out of normal service.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::etherPortLoopback
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::etherPortLoopback.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.4.1 i <value>
