What is nbsPortMonitor?
This read-write OID puts a port in normal mode (value 1) or sniffer/monitor mode (value 2), where all traffic received and transmitted on every other port is mirrored out to it. An admin sets a port to sniffer mode to attach a protocol analyzer for troubleshooting.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.5.1.1.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GSWITCH-MIB::nbsPortMonitor
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.5.1.1.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GSWITCH-MIB::nbsPortMonitor.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.2.5.1.1.5.1 i <value>
