nbsForwardMulticast
Module: GSWITCH-MIB
OID (symbolic): GSWITCH-MIB::nbsForwardMulticast
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.3.12
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Forward Multicast. Enable - multicast packets are Forwarded only to the CPU. Disable - multicast packets are being forward to all ports
What is nbsForwardMulticast?
This read-write OID controls whether multicast packets are forwarded only to the CPU (enable) or flooded to all ports (disable). An admin enables this to reduce multicast flooding across the switch fabric when only the CPU needs to process that traffic.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.3.12 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GSWITCH-MIB::nbsForwardMulticast
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.3.12.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GSWITCH-MIB::nbsForwardMulticast.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.3.12.1 i <value>
