hm2L2McastFilteringUnknownMode

Module: HM2-L2MCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): HM2-L2MCAST-MIB::hm2L2McastFilteringUnknownMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.33.1.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Sets the mode how unknown multicast packets will be treated. The default value is flood(2).

What is hm2L2McastFilteringUnknownMode?

This read-write enumerated object controls how the switch handles multicast packets for groups with no known membership, choosing among discard(1), flood(2), or query-ports(3). Admins tune this to decide whether unrecognized multicast traffic is dropped, sent everywhere, or limited to known query/router ports. For example, changing this from the default flood(2) to query-ports(3) would reduce unnecessary multicast flooding to end-user ports while still reaching the upstream router.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.33.1.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HM2-L2MCAST-MIB::hm2L2McastFilteringUnknownMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.33.1.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HM2-L2MCAST-MIB::hm2L2McastFilteringUnknownMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.33.1.2.1.2.1 i <value>
