portIfSwitchMode

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfSwitchMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

What is portIfSwitchMode?

Sets this specific port's forwarding mode (cut-through, fragment-free, store-and-forward, or adaptive), or default(1) to inherit the switch-wide defaultSwitchMode value instead. Admins override this per port when one port needs different latency/error-checking behavior than the rest of the switch.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfSwitchMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portIfSwitchMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.3.1.4.1 i <value>
