hwPolicyUnknowncast
Module: HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB
OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB::hwPolicyUnknowncast
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.6.1.25.1.15
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Indicates the VLAN-based forwarding policy for the unknown unicast packets. Options: 1. forward(1) -indicates that the unknown unicast packets are transparently transmitted. 2. discard(2) -indicates that the unknown unicast packets are discarded. 3. notConfig(3) -indicate by VLAN single switch. This leaf is optional for creating a VLAN service profile. You can perform the set operation on this leaf to modify the VLAN-based forwarding policy for the unknown unicast packets. The VLAN-based forwarding policy for the unknown unicast packets can also be configured in hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast of hwVlanMIBTable. If a VLAN service profile is bound to the VLAN, the configuration in the VLAN service profile takes effect.
What is hwPolicyUnknowncast?
This OID controls how the switch handles packets destined for unknown unicast addresses (addresses that don't exist or haven't been learned yet) within a VLAN. Options allow forwarding them, discarding them, or letting individual switches decide. A network operator would set this policy to discard unknown unicast to reduce flooding in larger networks, or enable forwarding in smaller networks for flexibility.
