nbsVlanFwdIngressTagCapability

Module: NBS-VLAN-FWD-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.215.1.2.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This bitmask indicates which nbsVlanPortIngressTagAction 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 nbsVlanFwdIngressTagCapability?

A one-byte bitmask, read-only, indicating which ingress tagging actions, add, strip, or retain, this port's hardware actually supports, per the object's description. Admins check this before configuring nbsVlanFwdIngressTagAction to ensure the requested action is actually supported by the port. If bit 2 is set in nbsVlanFwdIngressTagCapability, the port supports the add(2) ingress action; if it isn't, the switch cannot add outer tags to incoming frames on that port.
