dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay

Module: BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Timeout

Access: read-write

Description: Bridge forward delay.

What is dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay?

The Forward Delay value (in hundredths of a second) that this bridge advertises to the entire spanning tree when it is the root, controlling how long all bridges in the network wait in each transitional STP state. This value must be consistent with the MaxAge setting to ensure loop-free operation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.14.1 s <value>
