bnIfExtnExtHwAdvCapability

Module: BN-IF-EXTENSIONS-MIB

OID (symbolic): BN-IF-EXTENSIONS-MIB::bnIfExtnExtHwAdvCapability

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.15.1.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Bits

Access: read-only

Description: This object indicates the port speed and duplex capabilities that hardware can actually support on a port, and which may be advertised by the port using auto-negotiation. Bit 7 tells if a port supports pause frame capabilities (for full-duplex links) as a part of the advertisement.

bit 0 - 10 half duplex advertisements bit 1 - 10 full duplex advertisements bit 2 - 100 half duplex advertisements bit 3 - 100 full duplex advertisements bit 4 - 1000 half duplex advertisements bit 5 - 1000 full duplex advertisements bit 6 - PAUSE frame support advertisements bit 7 - Asymmetric PAUSE frame support advertisements bit 8 - 10000 full duplex advertisements bit 9 - 40000 full duplex advertisements

If auto negotiation is not supported by the port hardware, then all bits will reflect a value of zero.

What is bnIfExtnExtHwAdvCapability?

Reports the full set of speed, duplex, and pause-frame capabilities that the port hardware actually supports and can advertise during auto-negotiation. This reflects hardware limits independent of what is currently configured.
