What is mstpGenBridgeForwardDelay?

This OID is the administratively configured Forward Delay, the time (400-3000 hundredths of a second, i.e. 4-30 seconds) a port must spend in the listening and learning states before moving to forwarding. Admins increase this value if they see intermittent loops during topology changes, at the cost of slower port-up convergence.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.20.2.10.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FORCE10-MSTP-MIB::mstpGenBridgeForwardDelay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.20.2.10.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FORCE10-MSTP-MIB::mstpGenBridgeForwardDelay.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.20.2.10.4.1 s <value>
