xcmCommsStackPosition

Module: XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB

OID (symbolic): XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsStackPosition

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.5.2.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: XcmCommsStackPosition

Access: read-only

Description: A relatively generic description of the current position of this protocol entity (ie, this layer) in this protocol stack.

Usage: A conceptual row in 'xcmCommsStackTable', which occupies a 'bottom' position in a protocol stack AND has a corresponding row in the 'xcmCommsStackXrefTable', SHOULD have valid references in 'xcmCommsStackXrefIfIndex' (to IETF MIB-II) and 'xcmCommsStackXrefHrCommDevIndex' (to IETF Host Resources MIB).

Usage: A conceptual row in 'xcmCommsStackTable' which occupies a 'lowerMux' and/or an 'upperMux' position in a protocol stack SHALL have one (or two) valid corresponding conceptual rows in the 'xcmCommsMuxTable', as the conventionally used 'xcmCommsStack[Lower|Upper]StackIndex' objects take on zero values for multiplexors (thus breaking the graph of the stack layers, without the use of the 'xcmCommsMuxTable').

What is xcmCommsStackPosition?

This OID reports this protocol entity's position within its protocol stack, such as bottom (the default), top, lowerMux, or upperMux. An admin uses this to understand where in the stack graph a given layer sits and which cross-reference objects (ifIndex, mux table entries) should be populated for it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.5.2.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsStackPosition

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.5.2.1.5.1
