ethIfRstpState

Module: NETI-ETH-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.9.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Describes if the port forwards MAC frames and whether or not it learns from their source addresses.

discarding(1). The port is not enabled or has been excluded from forwarding and learning.

learning(2). The port has learning enabled, but forwarding disabled.

forwarding(3). The port both learns and forwards frames.

What is ethIfRstpState?

The port's current RSTP forwarding state: discarding(1) (not forwarding or learning), learning(2) (building the MAC table but not yet forwarding user traffic), or forwarding(3) (fully active) -- an admin watching a port stuck in discarding(1) knows RSTP has blocked it, likely to prevent a loop.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.9.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfRstpState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2928.2.2.1.3.9.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETI-ETH-MIB::ethIfRstpState.1
