ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification

Module: IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE-MIB::ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.3.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: An indication of what version of the Spanning Tree Protocol is being run. The value 'decLb100(2)' indicates the DEC LANbridge 100 Spanning Tree protocol. IEEE 802.1D implementations will return 'ieee8021d(3)'. New enumerated values may be added in the future to the definition of this object to reflect future versions of the IEEE Spanning Tree protocol.

What is ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification?

Which flavor of Spanning Tree Protocol this bridge is running — legacy DEC LANbridge 100, IEEE 802.1D, or IEEE 802.1Q — useful for confirming a switch is actually running the protocol version your topology design assumes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.3.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE-MIB::ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.3.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE-MIB::ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification.1

Start monitoring Vendor-neutral IEEE 802.1D/Q standard (Ethernet bridge or switch running STP) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE-MIB::ieee8021SpanningTreeProtocolSpecification OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Vendor-neutral IEEE 802.1D/Q standard (Ethernet bridge or switch running STP) from a single console.
