What is linkxMode?

This value defines whether a given link is used on-demand or as a backup link. Admins configure it to control when the link is expected to activate, such as only bringing up an ISDN backup link when the primary connection fails. Setting linkxMode to backup(2) reserves that link to activate only if the primary connection goes down, rather than being used routinely.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.7.2.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XYLAN-WSM-MIB::linkxMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.7.2.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> XYLAN-WSM-MIB::linkxMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.7.2.1.1.8.1 i <value>
