What is sonetPortFramingType?

A read-write enumeration selecting whether this port uses SONET or SDH framing, the two related but distinct optical transport standards. SONET, used mainly in North America, and SDH, used mainly internationally, have different framing conventions, so this must be set to match what the far-end equipment and carrier circuit actually use, or the link won't synchronize. An admin connecting to a European carrier's optical circuit would set this to sdh(2) rather than the North American sonet(1) default.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.11.4.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XYLAN-POS3-MIB::sonetPortFramingType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.11.4.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> XYLAN-POS3-MIB::sonetPortFramingType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.11.4.1.1.4.1 i <value>
