gsEPortRateLimitMode

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.61

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object configures whether rate limiting is enabled for this port (the factory default is enable(1)). Enabling rate limiting for this port prevents floods from overwhelming the output buffer associated with this port.

Normally, rate limiting will only consider frames that are flooded to this port. This typically does not include known multicasts. However, known multicasts can be included in the flood limiting by setting the value of this object to enableIncludeKnownMulticast(3).

What is gsEPortRateLimitMode?

Enables flood rate-limiting on the port (factory default: enabled) to keep broadcast/unknown-unicast floods from overwhelming its output buffer; setting enableIncludeKnownMulticast(3) extends the same limiting to cover known multicast traffic as well, useful on a port serving many multicast subscribers.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.61
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.61.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.61.1 i <value>
