bistSelfTestExecute
Module: PRVT-BIST-MIB
OID (symbolic): PRVT-BIST-MIB::bistSelfTestExecute
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.108.1.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Setting this object to execute(2) starts the execution of the BIST test and stores the results in bistResult.
This object does not execute port tests and does not influence the content of portTestTable.
The results of the test execution are displayed in bistResult. A GET on this object always returns noop(1).
What is bistSelfTestExecute?
This read-write object triggers the device's Built-In Self Test when set to execute(2), storing results under the bistResult subtree; reading it always returns noop(1) regardless of test state. Admins use it to run an on-demand hardware diagnostic covering CPU, RAM, NVRAM, power supplies, fans, temperature, and UPS, though it explicitly does not run or affect the separate port-loopback tests in portTestTable. Setting bistSelfTestExecute to execute(2) kicks off a full self-test, after which the admin checks bistSelfTestExecuteStatus and the individual result objects like cpuTestResult and ramTestResult for the outcome.
