What is zyCableDiagnosticsPortAction?

This read-write INTEGER triggers a cable diagnostic test action on an interface, set to none(0), start(1), or clear(2). Admins set it to start(1) to initiate a cable diagnostic run on a specific port, then check zyCableDiagnosticsPortActionStatus and the result table for outcomes. For example, an admin troubleshooting a flaky port would set this object to start(1) on that interface to kick off a cable diagnostic test.

Examples
