What is a5Compression?

Indicates whether this storage device supports on-the-fly data compression, a capability relevant to tape drives in particular when estimating effective backup capacity.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1123.3.1.2.4.1.5.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYMBIOSSDMSMASSSTORAGESYSTEMMIFDEF2-MIB::a5Compression

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1123.3.1.2.4.1.5.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYMBIOSSDMSMASSSTORAGESYSTEMMIFDEF2-MIB::a5Compression.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> a5Compression.1
