chGroupFwdMode

Module: HLS-MIB

OID (symbolic): HLS-MIB::chGroupFwdMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.17.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description: The value of this object determines whether frames destined for unknown group addresses (i.e. multicast addresses which have not been statically configured) are to be forwarded on this channel.

What is chGroupFwdMode?

Controls whether frames addressed to unrecognized multicast/group addresses (ones not statically configured) are forwarded out this channel. Disabling it prevents unregistered multicast traffic from flooding onto this channel, reducing unnecessary load on attached segments.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.17.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HLS-MIB::chGroupFwdMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.17.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HLS-MIB::chGroupFwdMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.17.1.4.1 i <value>
