gsESwitchPortConvertToStatic
Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB
OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsESwitchPortConvertToStatic
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.2.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: When this object is set to convertToStatic(2), all addresses learned on this port will be added to the non-volatile version of the static address table.
Typically, this object will be used to perform a crude form of address database update where the address activity associated with this port is collected as static (i.e. permanent) addresses while the value of this object is set to convertToStatic(2). Following this usually short period of time (perhaps a week of activity), the value of this object is restored back to its default value of learnAsDynamic(1) and learning for this port is disabled.
It is important that the user verify the address database to verify that only the desired addresses were made permanent.
What is gsESwitchPortConvertToStatic?
When set to convertToStatic(2), every MAC address learned on this port is added to the non-volatile static address table, a technique admins use to snapshot the port's normal traffic (over roughly a week) into permanent entries, then restore the object to learnAsDynamic(1) and disable further learning, after first verifying only the intended addresses got made permanent.
Examples
