516.0. "ENABLE/DISABLE PHY ports via SNMP??" by CSC32::WOESTEMEYER (Why??...Why not!!!) Thu Mar 26 1992 09:44

Well,

Now that the DECconcentrator 500 supports SNMP sets, is it possible to
enable/disable the phy ports using SNMP?  I have look through the 
DEC_ELAN_VENDOR_MIB_V20 and FDDI_MIB_NOV_1990 pulled from gatekeeper.dec.com 
and have not been able to find a way to enable/disable the phy ports.

Is a different mib required, or a newer version of the others required?

Thanks,

516.1It's in the FDDI MibQUIVER::P_SHORTFri Mar 27 1992 11:285
    
    Yes.  You can enable/disable the phy ports with SNMP.  It's in 
    the FDDI_MIB_NOV_1990 mib, snmpFddiPORTAction variable.

516.2snmp to enable/disable ports QUIVER::P_SHORTThu Apr 02 1992 16:4112
    
    It has been brought to my attention that our V3.1 release notes
    states that snmpFddiPORTAction is not settable.  That is somewhat
    in error...We DO support setting to startPORT (5) and stopPORT(6).
    What IS NOT supported is setting to maintPORT (2), enablePORT (3), 
    and disablePORT (4)...setting these will result in a badValue error.
    
    So, to disable a port using snmpFddiPORTAction, set that port to a 
    value of 6. To enable the port set it to a value of 5.
