gsEL2AddrSummary

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddrSummary

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.2.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: The value of this object is a packed opaque structure representing an array of address entries. The format of this structure is:

struct L2AddressEntry { UNS32 index; UNS8 addr[6]; // mac address UNS8 fabricPort; //fabricPort and subPort == gsEL2AddressPortBinding UNS8 subPort; UNS16 vlanID, //the global vlan id UNS8 portBindingValidFlag; UNS8 addressForwardFlag; UNS8 addressCopyFlag; UNS8 addressPersistence; UNS8 addressStatus; };

struct L2AddressSummary{ UNS8 numberOfEntries; // Number of entries that follow UNS8 version; // version == 1 UNS16 endianFlag; L2AddressEntry entryArray[numberOfEntries]; };

What is gsEL2AddrSummary?

Packs many address-table entries (index, MAC, port binding, VLAN, flags) into one opaque binary structure per SNMP PDU, letting a management station bulk-upload the whole address table far more efficiently via repeated getNext than walking the address table one entry at a time.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.2.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddrSummary

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.2.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddrSummary.1
