ieee8021BridgeBasePortExternal

Module: IEEE8021-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-BRIDGE-MIB::ieee8021BridgeBasePortExternal

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.2.1.1.4.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: A boolean indicating whether the port is external. A value of true(1) means the port is external. A value of false(2) means the port is internal.

What is ieee8021BridgeBasePortExternal?

This object indicates whether a bridge port connects to external networks (true) or only to internal bridge components (false). Operators use this distinction to understand the topology and role of each port in managing traffic across bridge domains. External ports carry traffic between the bridge and other network segments, while internal ports are reserved for internal bridging operations.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.2.1.1.4.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-BRIDGE-MIB::ieee8021BridgeBasePortExternal

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.2.1.1.4.1.9.1
