opticalPortMode

Module: PORT-MIB

OID (symbolic): PORT-MIB::opticalPortMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.7.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The mode of operation of the port. This is set initially by the user and can only be changed by the user. It is not a status. By default, all optical ports in the system come up as working. They have to be explicitly configured to work in a protected mode or to be turned off.

What is opticalPortMode?

This sets the operating mode of an optical port to disabled, working, or protected, and by default all optical ports come up as working unless explicitly reconfigured. An admin sets a port to protected when it serves as the backup path in a protection scheme, or disabled to take it fully out of service. Because the description notes this is purely a user-set configuration rather than a derived status, an admin must actively change it to move a port between roles.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.7.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::opticalPortMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.7.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::opticalPortMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.7.1.2.1 i <value>
