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>
