nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability

Module: NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.215.1.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This bitmask indicates which nbsVlanPortEgressTagAction values are supported: add(2) if bit 2 is set, strip(3) if bit 3 is set, and retain(4) if bit 4 is set.

What is nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability?

A one-byte bitmask, read-only, indicating which egress tagging actions, add, strip, or retain, this port's hardware actually supports, per the object's description. Admins or management software check this before attempting to set nbsVlanFwdEgressTagAction, to avoid configuring an action the port cannot perform. If bit 3 is set in nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability, the port supports the strip(3) action; if it's clear, attempting to configure strip would not take effect.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.215.1.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB::nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.215.1.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB::nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> nbsVlanFwdEgressTagCapability.1
