phivControlPollingState

Module: RFC1289-phivMIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1289-phivMIB::phivControlPollingState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.8.5.1.10

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This value represents the state of the tributary relative to the multipoint polling algorithm. If not set the default is AUTOMATIC. The possible states are:

AUTOMATIC

The tributary's state is allowed to vary according to the operation of the polling algorithm.

ACTIVE/INACTIVE/DYING/DEAD

The tributary is locked in the specified state.

NOTE: These values are incremented by one compared to the standard DECnet values in order to maintain compliance with RFC 1155.

What is phivControlPollingState?

This sets or reports a tributary's polling-algorithm state: automatic (state is managed by the polling algorithm, the default) or a value locking it explicitly to active, inactive, dying, or dead. Admins force a state manually, e.g. dead, to take a known-bad tributary out of the poll rotation without waiting for the algorithm to detect it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.8.5.1.10
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1289-phivMIB::phivControlPollingState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.8.5.1.10.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1289-phivMIB::phivControlPollingState.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.8.5.1.10.1 i <value>
