a3ComBrgForwardCtl
Module: A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB::a3ComBrgForwardCtl
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This object determines whether the bridge forwards packets. This has no effect on other bridging related functions, such as Spanning Tree, Learning, and Source Routing. Setting this object to noForward (2), allows isolation of the attached networks for diagnostic purposes.
What is a3ComBrgForwardCtl?
This read-write integer determines whether the bridge actually forwards frames between ports, independent of learning or spanning tree. When set to noForward (2), the bridge isolates connected networks without stopping other bridging protocols, enabling safe network diagnostics. For instance, temporarily setting this to 2 allows you to test a new segment without risking accidental traffic leakage during commissioning.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.1.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB::a3ComBrgForwardCtl
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.1.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB::a3ComBrgForwardCtl.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.1.5.1 i <value>
