What is a3ComPortMacAddrFmtARP?

This enum selects the MAC address format (canonical or non-canonical) used in ARP packets sent by this port. Engineers choose canonical for standard Ethernet or non-canonical for Token Ring compatibility. Setting canonical(1) uses standard bit ordering; non-canonical(2) reverses bit order.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortMacAddrFmtARP

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortMacAddrFmtARP.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.6.1 i <value>
