aPethPsePortPowerDetectionControl

Module: POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB

OID (symbolic): POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortPowerDetectionControl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Controls the power detection mechanism of the port. Setting the value auto(1) enables the power detection mechanism of the port. Setting the value test(2) puts the port in a testmode: force continuous discovery without applying power regardless of whether PD detected.

What is aPethPsePortPowerDetectionControl?

A read-write mode controlling PD detection on the port: auto(1) for normal detection, or test(2) which forces continuous discovery cycling without ever applying power. Admins use test(2) to diagnose PD-detection behavior on a port without risking actually energizing a connected device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortPowerDetectionControl

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortPowerDetectionControl.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.6.1 i <value>
