bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested

Module: RFC1271-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The requested maximum number of octets to be saved in this captureBuffer, including any implementation-specific overhead. If this variable is set to -1, the capture buffer will save as many octets as is possible.

When this object is created or modified, the probe should set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted as closely to this object as is possible for the particular probe implementation and available resources. However, if the object has the special value of -1, the probe must set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted to -1.

What is bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested?

Requested maximum total octets, including overhead, that this capture buffer may hold (default -1, meaning save as much as possible); the probe sets bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted as close to this as resources allow.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.8.1 i <value>
