gsEL2AddressCopy

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressCopy

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: It is sometimes useful for the switch processor to eavesdrop on traffic to certain destinations. This is especially useful in supporting the intelligent multicasting function.

What is gsEL2AddressCopy?

Reports whether frames to this address are also copied up to the switch's own CPU (copyCPU(2)) in addition to normal forwarding, a mechanism the switch uses internally to support features like intelligent multicast snooping on that address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressCopy

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressCopy.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> gsEL2AddressCopy.1
