agentSwitchUnicastControlMode

Module: NETGEAR-SWITCHING-MIB

OID (symbolic): NETGEAR-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchUnicastControlMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.2.8.12.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The switch config unicast allows you to enable or disable unicast storm recovery mode. When you specify Enable for unicast Storm Recovery and the unknown unicast traffic on any Ethernet port exceeds the configured threshold, the switch blocks (discards) the unknown unicast traffic.

What is agentSwitchUnicastControlMode?

This enable(1)/disable(2) flag (default disable) turns on storm control for unknown unicast traffic: once enabled, a port whose unknown-unicast traffic exceeds its threshold has that traffic discarded. This guards against flooding caused by asymmetric routing or MAC table misses rather than true broadcast/multicast storms.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.2.8.12.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETGEAR-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchUnicastControlMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.2.8.12.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETGEAR-SWITCHING-MIB::agentSwitchUnicastControlMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.11.1.2.8.12.8.1 i <value>
