| Description | This object is used to specify the protocol of the data
carried over the client side interface.
This object applies to linecards which support a variety of
protocols and allow dynamic configuration of the specific
protocol to be monitored on the interface. The ifType value
for such interfaces remains fixed. The agent may use this
object to identify the protocol to be monitored (see the
cmPhyIfMonitor object), to set the clock rate for the
interface (see the cmPhyIfClockRate object), or to enable
or disable functionality related to the protocol, for
example OFC (see the cmPhyIfOFC object).
The value of this object cannot be modified when the
cmPhyIfMonitor object is set to 'true' for that interface.
Also, this object does not apply to the trunk side
interfaces. |
