ethFwdAgingTime

Module: NETI-ETH-MIB

OID (symbolic): NETI-ETH-MIB::ethFwdAgingTime

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.2.2.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: The timeout period in seconds for aging out dynamically learned forwarding information. The value 0 means that aging is disabled and that the learned entries are not removed from the lookup table. See ethDevCapMaxAgingTime for maximum value.

What is ethFwdAgingTime?

Timeout in seconds before a dynamically learned MAC forwarding entry is aged out; 0 disables aging entirely so learned entries never expire, and the maximum allowed value is given by ethDevCapMaxAgingTime -- an admin might raise this above the 300-second default on a stable network to reduce relearning churn.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.2.2.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethFwdAgingTime

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.2.2.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethFwdAgingTime.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.2.2.1.11.1 i <value>
