protocolBlocking

Module: HLS-MIB

OID (symbolic): HLS-MIB::protocolBlocking

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: The set of protocols for which the bridge will not forward any packets. Each octet contains a non-zero value if the corresponding protocol is to be blocked. The octets correspond to the protocols, as follows:

1st octet: IP 2nd octet: ARP 3rd octet: RARP 4th octet: reserved (must be zero) 5th octet: DECNET 6th octet: IPX 7th octet: V2 8th octet: XNS 9th octet: TOPS 10th octet: BridgeID (3Com T/Servers) 11th octet: LAT 12th octet: AppleTalk

What is protocolBlocking?

Each of the 12 octets flags whether a specific network protocol (IP, ARP, RARP, DECNET, IPX, etc.) is blocked from being forwarded by the bridge. This object is deprecated in favor of the newer protocol filter table, so new configurations should use that table instead of this fixed bitmap.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HLS-MIB::protocolBlocking

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26.2.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HLS-MIB::protocolBlocking.1

Start monitoring Hughes LAN Systems networking equipment (legacy, EOL) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the HLS-MIB::protocolBlocking OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Hughes LAN Systems networking equipment (legacy, EOL) from a single console.
