a3ComPortMacAddrFmtXNS
Module: A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortMacAddrFmtXNS
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This determines the MAC address format used in XNS packets sent by this port. Note, nonCanonical(2) is allowed only on Token Ring ports.
What is a3ComPortMacAddrFmtXNS?
This enum determines MAC address format in XNS packets sent by the port—canonical or non-canonical. Engineers configure it per port type: canonical for Ethernet, non-canonical only for Token Ring. The format affects how legacy XNS systems recognize frame addresses.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortMacAddrFmtXNS
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortMacAddrFmtXNS.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.8.1 i <value>
