slEntPhysicalProtectMode

Module: SL-ENTITY-MIB

OID (symbolic): SL-ENTITY-MIB::slEntPhysicalProtectMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.6.1.1.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The protection mode of physical entity. The default value is automatic(3) This object is not applicable should the protection be done on a per-port basis.

What is slEntPhysicalProtectMode?

This read-write value configures how automatic protection switching behaves for this entity: locked, forced, or automatic, defaulting to automatic(3). An admin sets this to lock(1) to disable auto-failover during planned maintenance so a manual card swap doesn't trigger an unwanted switchover. For example, writing force(2) manually forces traffic onto the standby card for testing purposes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.6.1.1.1.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SL-ENTITY-MIB::slEntPhysicalProtectMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.6.1.1.1.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SL-ENTITY-MIB::slEntPhysicalProtectMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.6.1.1.1.14.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

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