gsEPortRateLimitRate

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitRate

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.62

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The percentage of the port's transmitted data allowed to be floods (or floods and known multicasts). For example, the factory default setting of twenty-percent(4) indicates that 20% of the data rate can be floods. For 10 Mb/s ports, this is equivalent to a maximum rate of approximately 3000 flooded pps; for 100 Mb/s ports, a maximum rate of approximately 30,000 flooded pps.

What is gsEPortRateLimitRate?

Sets the percentage of the port's data rate allowed to be flooded traffic, from one-percent(1) up to eighty-percent(7); the factory default of twenty-percent(5) works out to about 3,000 flooded pps on a 10 Mbps port or 30,000 pps on a 100 Mbps port. Admins lower this on a port serving low-value end-stations to protect it from broadcast storms elsewhere in the network.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.62
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitRate

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.62.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortRateLimitRate.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.6.1.1.62.1 i <value>
