What is function?

This object sets the functional role of an Ethernet port, whether it carries user traffic only, management traffic only, or both combined. Admins configure it to segregate or combine management access and payload traffic on a given port, depending on their network design. For example, setting this to mgmt(1) would dedicate that port to device management traffic, keeping it separate from user data.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETHERNET-MIB::function

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETHERNET-MIB::function.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.25651.1.2.3.2.1.4.1.1.1 s <value>
