vtpDiscoverAction
Module: CISCO-VTP-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-VTP-MIB::vtpDiscoverAction
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.7.1.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: When this object is set to discover(1), all the entries in vtpDiscoverResultTable for the corresponding management domain will be removed and the local device will begin to discover all VTP members in the management domain. Upon the successful completion of discovery, the discovered result will be stored in the vtpDiscoverResultTable.
If vtpDiscoverStatus is inProgress(1), setting vtpDiscoverAction to discover(1) will fail.
When this object is set to purgeResult(3), all the entries of vtpDiscoverResultTable for the corresponding management domain will be removed from vtpDiscoverResultTable.
When this object is set to noOperation(2), no action will be taken. When read, this object always returns noOperation(2).
What is vtpDiscoverAction?
This read-write INTEGER triggers a VTP member discovery process when set to discover, first clearing any existing entries in vtpDiscoverResultTable for that management domain and then populating fresh results as members are found, though the attempt fails outright if a discovery is already inProgress. An administrator uses this to build a current inventory of all VTP members participating in a management domain, useful for auditing domain membership or spotting rogue or unexpected switches. For example, running a discover action after suspecting an unauthorized switch joined the VTP domain lets the admin review the refreshed vtpDiscoverResultTable for unfamiliar device identifiers.
