vStpInsPortPathCost

Module: ALCATEL-IND1-VLAN-STP-MIB

OID (symbolic): ALCATEL-IND1-VLAN-STP-MIB::vStpInsPortPathCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.12.1.1.1.2.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port. 802.1D-1990 recommends that the default value of this parameter be in inverse proportion to the speed of the attached LAN.

What is vStpInsPortPathCost?

This writable integer sets the cost metric for this port in STP calculations; lower costs attract more traffic through faster or higher-capacity links. Engineers set 10Gbps ports to cost 2000, 1Gbps to 20000, and older links to 100000 to bias traffic toward faster paths. IEEE standards define default costs by speed.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.12.1.1.1.2.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-VLAN-STP-MIB::vStpInsPortPathCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.12.1.1.1.2.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-VLAN-STP-MIB::vStpInsPortPathCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.12.1.1.1.2.1.5.1 i <value>
