Module: FORE-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeNumberOfEntities

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

What is bridgeNumberOfEntities?

This read-only integer reports how many logical bridges are currently configured on the FORE ASX switch. It gives an admin a quick inventory count before deciding which bridge name to point bridgeDataSource at for further RFC-1493 Bridge MIB queries. For instance, a value of 4 means the switch is running four separate logical bridging instances, such as one per emulated LAN.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeNumberOfEntities

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeNumberOfEntities.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> bridgeNumberOfEntities.1
