swMSTPPortMigration

Module: MSTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): MSTP-MIB::swMSTPPortMigration

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.2.4.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: When operating in MSTP mode or RSTP mode, writing TRUE(1) to this object forces this port to transmit MST BPDUs. Any other operation on this object has no effect and it always returns FALSE(2) when read.

What is swMSTPPortMigration?

Writing TRUE(1) to this object, when the bridge is in MSTP or RSTP mode, forces this port to transmit MST BPDUs immediately rather than waiting for protocol migration timers; any other write has no effect and it always reads back FALSE(2). Admins use this to speed up bringing a port's BPDU exchange back to the expected protocol version after a suspected mis-negotiation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.2.4.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MSTP-MIB::swMSTPPortMigration

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.2.4.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MSTP-MIB::swMSTPPortMigration.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.2.4.1.6.1 s <value>
