ieee8021QBridgeFdbAgingTime

Module: IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB::ieee8021QBridgeFdbAgingTime

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.4.1.2.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The timeout period in seconds for aging out dynamically-learned forwarding information. IEEE Std 802.1D-1998 recommends a default of 300 seconds.

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

What is ieee8021QBridgeFdbAgingTime?

How many seconds (10 to 1,000,000) a dynamically learned MAC address stays in the forwarding database before aging out; IEEE 802.1D recommends a default of 300 seconds, and lowering it makes the switch adapt faster to moved devices at the cost of more relearning.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.4.1.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB::ieee8021QBridgeFdbAgingTime

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.4.1.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB::ieee8021QBridgeFdbAgingTime.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.4.1.2.1.1.5.1 i <value>
