slmVcatDelay

Module: SL-MAIN-MIB

OID (symbolic): SL-MAIN-MIB::slmVcatDelay

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The value of the VCAT delay as was read from the SEEP.

What is slmVcatDelay?

This value reports the VCAT (Virtual Concatenation) delay setting as read from the box's SEEP (serial EEPROM) at boot. An admin reads this to confirm the hardware-configured VCAT delay parameter for this unit's optical transport configuration.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SL-MAIN-MIB::slmVcatDelay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SL-MAIN-MIB::slmVcatDelay.1

Start monitoring SmartOptics SiteLight optical transport main control card/chassis (system/alarm/software-version status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SL-MAIN-MIB::slmVcatDelay OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any SmartOptics SiteLight optical transport main control card/chassis (system/alarm/software-version status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a SmartOptics SiteLight optical transport main control card or chassis as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type slmVcatDelay into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the measured virtual concatenation (VCAT) delay for this member, as read from the interface's hardware. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the delay exceeds the value you'd expect for a healthy, in-sync VCAT group, since excessive delay skew between members can cause the group to fail to align. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
