ethIfForwardingFunction

Module: NETI-ETH-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.10

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The index (ethFwdIndex) in the ethFwdFuncTable of the forwarding function that this interface belongs to. The value -1 denotes that the interface does not belong to any forwarding function. If the referenced forwarding function is deleted, then the value of this object is automatically reset to -1. Note that the interface can only belong to a forwarding function on the same device as the interface. An interface group and its member interfaces always refer to the same forwarding function.

What is ethIfForwardingFunction?

The ethFwdIndex of the forwarding function this interface is attached to, or -1 if it isn't attached to any forwarding function (which resets automatically if the referenced forwarding function is deleted); an admin sets this to wire a physical or ETS port into a particular bridging instance on the same device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.10
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfForwardingFunction

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.10.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfForwardingFunction.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.10.1 i <value>
