gsEBridgePortFastStart

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBridgePortFastStart

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.3.1.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is being replaced by the switch port object gsESwitchPortFastStart. When this bridge port object is set to enable(1), the bridge port and all other bridge ports on the same switch port, transition right from blocking to forwarding, skipping the listening and learning states. When this bridge port object is set to disable(2), the bridge port and all other bridge ports on the same switch port have this option disabled. The user should be warned that using the fast start feature greatly increases the likelihood of unintended network loops that would otherwise be prevented by participating in the normal spanning tree algorithm.

The factory default value for this object is disable(2).

What is gsEBridgePortFastStart?

A deprecated per-bridge-port equivalent of what's now controlled by gsESwitchPortFastStart: when enabled, the port skips STP's Listening/Learning states and jumps straight from Blocking to Forwarding, at the cost of significantly higher risk of accidental network loops. The default is disabled, and admins should use the replacement switch-port object instead.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.3.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBridgePortFastStart

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.3.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBridgePortFastStart.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.3.1.1.11.1 i <value>
