ieee8021MstpCistTopologyChange

Module: IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistTopologyChange

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: In an STP Bridge, the value of the Topology Change parameter (14.8.1.1.3, item d of IEEE Std 802.1D, 2004 Edition), or in an RSTP or MSTP Bridge, asserted if the tcWhile timer for any Port for the CIST is non-zero.

What is ieee8021MstpCistTopologyChange?

True whenever any port's topology-change timer (tcWhile) is currently running for the CIST, meaning a recent topology change is still being flooded through the network — a switch stuck with this true for a long time suggests a flapping link somewhere.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistTopologyChange

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistTopologyChange.1
