ieee8021MstpCistPortAdminPathCost

Module: IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistPortAdminPathCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.3.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The administratively assigned value for the contribution of this port to the path cost of paths toward the spanning tree root.

Writing a value of '0' assigns the automatically calculated default Path Cost value to the port. If the default Path Cost is being used, this object returns '0' when read.

This complements the object ieee8021MstpCistPortCistPathCost, which returns the operational value of the port path cost.

The value of this object MUST be retained across reinitializations of the management system.

What is ieee8021MstpCistPortAdminPathCost?

The administrator-assigned path cost (0-200000000) this port contributes toward the CIST root; writing 0 tells the bridge to fall back to the automatically calculated default cost based on link speed, in which case reads of this object also return 0 — check ieee8021MstpCistPortCistPathCost for the actual operating value.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistPortAdminPathCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistPortAdminPathCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.3.1.4.1 i <value>
