syControlOperation

Module: SBE-MIB

OID (symbolic): SBE-MIB::syControlOperation

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1055.2.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Default value on nX: 'none' On nX: in ram, field trial 1 except for Clear-SNMP-statistics and Disable-port-after-call which are field trial 2

This object is set whenever Workshop wants the nX to perform an operation. Upon completion of the operation, the nX sets the value back to 'none'. Some operations use Control Variables as parameters for the operation. Any Control Variables must be set in the same frame as the Control Operation to insure that they are not changed by another Workshop before the operation is performed. After a Control Operation is started, the values in the Control Variables may no longer be valid.

Reboot When the value is 'reboot', the nX performs an immediate reboot. Clear-SNMP-statistics When the value is 'clear-SNMP-statistics', the nX resets to zero all MIB statistics fields. Dialout When the value is 'dialout', the nX performs a dialout to the destination identified in Control Variable String One. Hangup When the value is 'hangup', the nX hangs up the non-leased line connection for the Destination identified in Control Variable String One. Enable port When the value is 'enable-port', the nX enables the port identified by Control Variable Integer One. Disable port When the value is 'disable-port', the nX disables the port identified by Control Variable Integer One. Disable-port-after-call When the value is 'disable-port-after-call', the nX disables the port identified by Control Variable Integer One immediately after the current connection terminates. This option allows gracefully taking the nX out of operation (except for leased lines). This option is not applicable to leased lines. Crash When the value is 'crash', the nX stores its RAM memory contents to a PCMCIA card for off-line debugging. Change-password When the value is 'change-password', the nX changes both the RAM and Flash password for a user. The Control Variable String One contains the following zero terminated strings in order: User Name, old User Password, and new User Password. This is the only way to change passwords, except when defining a new user. RAM-to-Flash When the value is 'RAM-to-Flash', the nX stores object values in RAM into Flash. start-tftp-download Reset-port Hangup the port, if necessary and reinitialize the modem. Display-IP-Routes Show IP routes via event logger. Display-IPX-Networks Show IPX Networks via event logger. Display-IPX-Servers Show IPX Servers via event logger.

What is syControlOperation?

A write-only style command dispatcher: setting it to values like reboot(2), dialout(4), hangup(5), or ram-to-Flash(11) tells the nX unit to immediately perform that action, after which the device resets the value back to 'none'. For example, an admin sets it to reboot(2) to remotely restart the router, or to dialout(4) after first loading the target destination name into syControlVariableStringOne.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1055.2.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SBE-MIB::syControlOperation

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1055.2.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SBE-MIB::syControlOperation.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1055.2.1.7.1 i <value>
