Using this OID with SNMP

At least one MIB declaration places this object in a table row. A value belongs to a row instance; its suffix depends on the row's INDEX or AUGMENTS definition. The index encoding is not inferred here.

Published row index: alarmListName, alarmActiveDateAndTime, alarmActiveIndex.

snmpwalk [connection options] DEVICE .1.3.6.1.2.1.118.1.2.2.1.7

Replace the placeholders with your connection and authentication options. Available permissions and device support can differ from the MIB.

Properties come from available MIB definitions. Actual device support and access can differ. See source records below for original files and qualifications.

Identical descriptions are grouped. Different wording and device-specific notes are retained.

Description 1

The name of the SNMP MIB context from which the alarm came. For SNMPv1 alarms this is the community string from the Trap. Note that care MUST be taken when selecting community strings to ensure that these can be represented as a well-formed SnmpAdminString. Community or Context names that are not well-formed SnmpAdminStrings will be mapped to zero length strings. If the alarms source SNMP engine is known not to support multiple contexts, this object is a zero length string.
