gsEL2AddressForward

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressForward

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: When set to specialDelivery(2), frames sent to this address are treated to special delivery where the spanning tree state of the inbound port is ignored. Typically, special delivery is only used for Bridge PDUs such as spanning tree frames.

What is gsEL2AddressForward?

Reports whether frames to this address get special delivery (bypassing the inbound port's spanning-tree blocking state), a mode normally reserved for BPDUs/spanning-tree frames rather than ordinary user traffic entries.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressForward

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.1.4.1.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEL2AddressForward.1
