phivAreaMaxCost

Module: RFC1289-phivMIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1289-phivMIB::phivAreaMaxCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This value represents the maximum total path cost allowed from the executor to any other level 2 routing node. The AREA MAXIMUM COST number is decimal in the range 1-1022. This parameter is only applicable if the executor node is of type AREA.

What is phivAreaMaxCost?

This sets the maximum total path cost allowed from this node to any other level-2 (area) routing node; it only applies if this node is itself configured as an AREA-type router. Admins raise it as the inter-area network grows more or costlier hops between area routers.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1289-phivMIB::phivAreaMaxCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1289-phivMIB::phivAreaMaxCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2.1 i <value>
