RFC-3433 (Entity Sensor MIB)

The Entity Sensor MIB contains a single entitySensorValueGroup that contains objects for representing values and status of the SFP/QSFP.

Table/Group Supported Variables Comments
entitySensorValueGroup entPhySensorType

An integer that defines the type of data units for the sensor.

Read-only.

enetPhySensorScale

An integer representing the data scaling factor for the sensor.

Read-only.

entPhySensorPrecision

An integer representing the number of decimal places of sensor precision.

Read-only.

entPhySensorValue

An integer representing the sensor value.

Read-only.

entPhyOperStatus

Operational status of the sensor.

entPhySensorUnitsDisplay

Text description of data units used in entPhySensorValue.

Read-only.

entPhySensorValueTimeStamp

Value of sysUpTime at the time the status and value was last obtained.

Read-only.

entPhySensorValueUpdateRate

Frequency that the agent updates the associated entPhySensorValue.

Read-only.

entPhySensorType

The entPhySensorType object is an integer that defines the sensor as one of the following types:.Value

Value Sensor Type
1 Other
2 Unknown
3 voltsAC
4 voltsDC
5 Amperes
6 Watts
7 Hertz
8 Celsius
9 percentRH
10 Rpm
11 Cmm
12 thruthvalue

The following sensor types are used for the digital diagnostic monitoring data.

Sensor Sensor Type
Temperature Celsius
VCC voltsDC
Tx Bias Current Amperes
Rx Power Watts
Tx Power Watts

Power measurements may be represented as decibels (dB). If this is the case, the sensor type is defined as “other” and the units of measurement are determined using entPhySensorUnitsDisplay.

entPhySensorScale

The entPhySensorScale object is an integer that defines the scale of the sensor as one of the following.

Value Sensor Scale
1 Yocto
2 Zepto
3 Atto
4 femto
5 Pico
6 nano
7 micro
8 milli
9 units
10 Kilo
11 mega
12 giga
13 tera
14 Exa
15 peta
16 zetta
17 yotta

entPhySensorPrecision

This object defines the sensor precision range.

A value in the range 1 to 9, represents the number of decimal places in the fractional part of an associated entPhySensorValue fixed-point number. A value in the range -8 to -1, represents the number of accurate digits in the associated entPhySensorValue fixed-point number. The value zero indicates the associated entPhySensorValue object is not a fixed-point number.

entPhySensorValue

The entPhySensorValue object is the value of the sensor.

entPhySensorOperStatus

The entPhySensorOperStatus object is an integer that defines the operating status of the sensor as one of the following.

Value Sensor Status
1 Ok
2 Unavailable
3 Nonoperational

Ports without a populated transceiver or one that is unreachable due to i2c bus errors, etc. are designated “nonoperational”. Ports populated with a transceiver that does not support digital diagnostic monitoring are designated “unavailable.”

entPhySensorUnitsDisplay

The entPhySensorUnitsDisplay object is a textual description of the data units that should be used in the display of entPhySensorValue.

entPhySensorValueTimeStamp

The entPhySensorValueTimeStamp object is the value of sysUpTime at the time the status and/or value of this sensor were last obtained.

entPhySensorValueUpdateRate

The entPhySensorValueUpdateRate object is an indication of the frequency that the agent updates the associated entPhySensorValue object, represented in milliseconds.
