nbsVlanFwdEgressTagAction

Module: NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB

OID (symbolic): NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB::nbsVlanFwdEgressTagAction

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.215.1.2.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Specifies what tagging action to perform on outgoing frames from this port:

add(2) a new outer VLAN tag to each outgoing frame, using nbsVlanFwdVid and nbsVlanFwdPriority;

strip(3) the outer VLAN tag from each outgoing frame;

retain(4) tagging as is on each outgoing frame.

What is nbsVlanFwdEgressTagAction?

Specifies what VLAN tagging action the port performs on outgoing frames: adding a new outer tag, stripping the outer tag, or retaining the existing tagging as-is, per the object's description. Admins configure this per port to control how VLAN tags appear on the wire leaving the port, essential when connecting to devices that expect tagged versus untagged traffic. Setting nbsVlanFwdEgressTagAction to strip(3) would remove the outer VLAN tag from every frame before it leaves that port, useful when connecting to an end-user device that doesn't understand 802.1Q tags.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
