a3ComSysBridgeRateLimitReceiveBroadcast

Module: A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgeRateLimitReceiveBroadcast

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.2.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object limits the number of broadcast frames forwarded by this port over a 1 second interval. The value is set across all ports on the device.

What is a3ComSysBridgeRateLimitReceiveBroadcast?

Caps broadcast frames forwarded per port to 1-65535 frames per second (INTEGER range). Engineers reduce this to mitigate broadcast storms and DHCP discover floods. Setting to 1000 prevents broadcast-based DoS attacks from saturating links.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.2.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgeRateLimitReceiveBroadcast

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.2.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgeRateLimitReceiveBroadcast.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.2.1.17.1 i <value>
