ospfEnable

Module: PRVT-OSPF-EXTENSION-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-OSPF-EXTENSION-MIB::ospfEnable

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: This object enables/disables the OSPF process in the switch

What is ospfEnable?

This read-write TruthValue enables or disables the OSPF routing process on the switch. An admin sets it to true to turn on OSPF dynamic routing, or false to disable it entirely. Setting ospfEnable to true is the first step an admin takes before OSPF neighbor relationships and route redistribution defined elsewhere in this MIB can take effect.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-EXTENSION-MIB::ospfEnable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-EXTENSION-MIB::ospfEnable.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ospfEnable.1
