hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast

Module: HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB::hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.6.1.1.1.19

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.

During the creation of a VLAN, if this leaf is not specified, forward(1) is adopted by default. 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 hwPolicyUnknowncast of hwVlanSrvProfTable. If a VLAN service profile is bound to the VLAN, the configuration in the VLAN service profile takes effect.

What is hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast?

Sets whether unknown (unregistered) unicast packets in this VLAN are flooded/forwarded (1, default) or discarded (2). As with the broadcast and multicast policy leaves, a bound VLAN service profile's hwPolicyUnknowncast overrides this per-VLAN setting.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.6.1.1.1.19
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB::hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.6.1.1.1.19.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-VLAN-MIB::hwVlanPolicyUnknowncast.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.6.1.1.1.19.1 i <value>
