| Description | This object is used to power down the EPON interface.
The interface may be unavailable while the power down
occurs and data may be lost.
Setting this object to true(1) will cause the interface
to enter into power down mode. Setting this object to
false(2) will cause the interface to go out of power
down mode. When getting true(1), the interface is in
power down mode. When getting false(2), the interface is
not in power down mode.
The write operation is not restricted in this document
and can be done at any time. Changing
dot3ExtPkgObjectPowerDown state can lead to a power down
of the respective interface, leading to an interruption
of service of the users connected to the respective EPON
interface.
This object is applicable for an OLT and an ONU. At the
OLT, it has a distinct value for each virtual interface.
A power down/up of a specific virtual interface affects
only the virtual interface and not the physical
interface. Hence a virtual link, which needs a certain
handling, can be powered down and then powered up without
disrupting the operation of other virtual interfaces.
The object is relevant when the admin state of the
interface is active as set by the dot3MpcpAdminState. |
