ringPortFrameMode

Module: PORT-MIB

OID (symbolic): PORT-MIB::ringPortFrameMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.8.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The frame mode defines the data path mode of the ring port. The choices include AXSON and POS. AXSON frame mode means the ring encapsulates data inside AXSON frames, and POS means data is encapsulated using the Packet over SONET standard HDLC mechanism.

What is ringPortFrameMode?

This sets the ring port's data path mode to either AXSON, the vendor's proprietary frame encapsulation, or POS, which uses the standard Packet over SONET HDLC mechanism. An admin chooses POS for interoperability with standards-based equipment, or AXSON when working entirely within this vendor's own ring architecture. This choice determines how data is framed for transport across the ring.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.8.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::ringPortFrameMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.8.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::ringPortFrameMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.8.1.2.1 i <value>
