aPethPsePortPowerPriority

Module: POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object controls the priority of the port from the point of view of a power management algorithm. The priority that is set by this variable could be used by a control mechanism that prevents over current situations by disconnecting first ports with lower power priority. Ports that connect devices critical to the operation of the network - like the E911 telephones ports - should be set to higher priority.

What is aPethPsePortPowerPriority?

A read-write priority level -- critical(1), high(2), or low(3) -- used by the power-management algorithm to decide which ports to shed first if the PSE runs low on power budget. Admins set critical priority on ports serving essential devices like E911 phones so they're the last to be cut during an overcurrent situation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortPowerPriority

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortPowerPriority.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.8.1 i <value>
