Description: The set of physical ports to which this entry is contained in the L2 tables. Each octet within the value of this object specifies a set of eight ports. The first octet specifying ports 1 through 8, the second octet specifying ports 9 through 16, etc.

Within each octet, the least significant bit represents the lowest numbered port and the most significant bit represents the highest numbered port. Thus, each port of the bridge is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. If that bit has a value of '1' then that port is included in the set of ports; the port is not included if its bit has a value of '0'. (Note that the setting of the bit corresponding to the port from which a frame is received is irrelevant.) The default value of this object is a string of zeroes of appropriate length. The maximum number of ports/card-module is sysHwModuleNumPorts.
