What is sigPathSpansTransmittedMessages?

This counter records the total number of SPANS (Spanning Tree) protocol messages transmitted over a specific signalling path on an ATM switch. The operator monitors this to track switch control plane activity and ensure proper spanning tree convergence. High values may indicate spanning tree recalculation events or unstable network topology.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.2.1.6.1.2.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::sigPathSpansTransmittedMessages

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.2.1.6.1.2.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::sigPathSpansTransmittedMessages.1
