ethIfLearning

Module: NETI-ETH-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Specifies if MAC learning is enabled on the interface.

on(1). MAC learning is enabled. The forwarding function learns what interface to use for a destination by looking at the source MAC address in received frames.

off(2) MAC learning is disabled.

Regardless of the setting, learning is disabled if ethFwdMACMode is set to nomac(3) or if it is set to auto(1) and less than three interfaces are connected to the forwarding function.

What is ethIfLearning?

Enables, on(1), or disables, off(2), MAC address learning on this specific interface; note learning is effectively off regardless of this setting whenever the forwarding function's ethFwdMACMode resolves to nomac(3).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfLearning

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfLearning.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.2.1.18.1 i <value>
