etsysESwitchEtherTypePreempted

Module: ENTERASYS-ESWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-ESWITCH-MIB::etsysESwitchEtherTypePreempted

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.10.1.4.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: If true, indicates that the switch has taken control of this row and its associated resources (e.g., to support 802.1x authentication).

What is etsysESwitchEtherTypePreempted?

This read-only TruthValue reports whether the switch itself has taken over an EtherType filter row and its resources for an internal feature such as 802.1x authentication. Admins check this before assuming their configured EtherType filter is actively enforcing traffic control, since a preempted row's resources are being used by the switch instead. If etsysESwitchEtherTypePreempted reads true(1) for a filter row, the admin should not expect that EtherType filter to be applied to user traffic while 802.1x is using it.
