Catalyst 2800 Module MIB Objects

The Catalyst 2800 field-pluggable modules provide a choice of 100Base-T connections that support Category 5 UTP or fiber optic cabling. This chapter describes the MIB objects used to configure and manage these modules.

The esModuleBasic Group

This group is used to manage the high-speed expansion modules in the Catalyst 2800 expansion slots. Any attempt to manage a Catalyst 2800 without modules using this group will result in an error. This group provides configuration, status, and control objects for the overall unit.

esModuleCapacity (integer)

This read-only MIB object displays the number of expansion slots that are available in the unit.

Valid Values:

The Catalyst 2800 Module Basic Table

esModuleIndex (integer)

This read-only MIB object identifies the module for which this entry contains information. This value is never greater than esModuleCapacity.

esModuleStatus (integer)

This read-only MIB object displays the current operational status of the port. This value is exactly the same as the swPortStatus for the associated switched port.

esModuleAdminStatus (integer)

This read-write MIB object is used to change the port status to either:

Enabled: normal status (transmit and receive)
Disabled-mgmt: port is no longer in use

Valid Values:

enabled

(1)

disabled

(2)

This value is the same as swPortAdminStatus for the corresponding switched port.

esModuleDescr (display string)

This read-only MIB object displays a text string which includes the full name and version identification of the module's hardware type.

esModuleID (display string)

This read-only MIB object displays a text representation of the specified identifier for the installed module, or notPresent.

Valid Values:	110 SingleUTP
	101 SingleFiber
	140 FourUTP
	104 FourFiber
	108 EightUTP
	401 FDDI (DAS)
	401 FDDI (SAS)
	410 CDDI (SAS)

esModuleVersion (integer)

This read-only MIB object displays the specified unique identification for the module version, ranging from 1 to 254.

esModuleObjectID (object identifier)

This read-only MIB object displays the vendor's authoritative identification of the module.

esModulePortCapacity (integer)

This read-only MIB object displays the number of external port attachments provided by the module (the object sysInfoTotalNumberOfPorts is the sum of this object, for each module, plus 25 for the built-in 10-Mbps ports).

esModuleReset (integer)

Setting this read-write MIB object to reset causes the module to be forced into a reset state. The reset state is a module specific condition in which the module's packet operations will cease while the module resets to a known state. Setting this object to noReset has no effect. Catalyst 2800 will always return the value noReset when this object is read.

Valid Values:	reset	(1)
	noReset	(2)

esModuleLastStatusChange (time ticks)

This read-only MIB object contains the value of sysUpTime at the time that the value of the esModuleStatus object for this module last changed. A value of zero indicates that the group's operational status has not changed since the agent last restarted.

This read-only MIB object contains the number of times the firmware has toggled the module's collision LED from off to on.

esModuleLinkDisplayMap (octet string)

This read-only MIB object displays a bit array where the presence of a particular bit indicates a lit link LED for a module port.

Each octet within the value of this object specifies a set of eight link LEDs, with the first octet specifying link LEDs for ports 1 through 8, the second octet specifying link LEDs 9 through 16, and so on. Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the lowest numbered LED, and the least significant bit represents the highest numbered LED. Thus, each LED is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. If the bit has a value of 1, then the LED is currently lit; the LED is not lit if its bit has a value of 0.

esModuleDisabledDisplayMap (octet string)

This read-only MIB object displays a bit array where the presence of a particular bit indicates a lit disabled LED for a module port.
