hwMstpiPathCost

Module: HUAWEI-MSTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-MSTP-MIB::hwMstpiPathCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.42.4.1.20.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: the path cost of paths with which the package passes the port. The range of path cost is 1..65535 for 802.1d standard, is 1..200000000 for 802.1t standard, and is 1..200000 for the legacy standard.

What is hwMstpiPathCost?

Sets the cost this port contributes to the path toward the root for the given spanning-tree instance; lower-cost paths are preferred by the spanning-tree algorithm. The valid range differs by path-cost standard: 1-65535 under 802.1d, 1-200000000 under 802.1t, and 1-200000 under the legacy scheme. An admin tunes this to influence which links are used and which are blocked when there are redundant paths.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.42.4.1.20.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MSTP-MIB::hwMstpiPathCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.42.4.1.20.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MSTP-MIB::hwMstpiPathCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.42.4.1.20.1.4.1 i <value>
