Module: CISCO-VTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-VTP-MIB::vlanTrunkPortEncapsulationOperType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The type of VLAN encapsulation in use on this trunk port. For intefaces with vlanTrunkPortDynamicStatus of notTrunking(2) the vlanTrunkPortEncapsulationOperType shall be notApplicable(6).

What is vlanTrunkPortEncapsulationOperType?

This read-only INTEGER reports the VLAN encapsulation type actually in effect on a trunk port right now, as opposed to the desired setting in vlanTrunkPortEncapsulationType, and it reports notApplicable for ports that currently aren't trunking at all. An administrator compares this operational value against the configured one to confirm negotiation or manual configuration actually resulted in the intended encapsulation. For example, a port configured for negotiate that ends up reporting vlanTrunkPortEncapsulationOperType as dot1Q confirms the negotiation successfully settled on 802.1Q tagging.
