swPktStormCtrlUnicastStatus

Module: PKT-STORM-CTRL-MIB

OID (symbolic): PKT-STORM-CTRL-MIB::swPktStormCtrlUnicastStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.25.3.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object indicates whether the unicast (Destination Loopback Fail) storm control is enabled or disabled.

What is swPktStormCtrlUnicastStatus?

This object enables or disables unicast storm control, specifically for destination-lookup-failure unicast traffic, on this port. Administrators enable it to protect against a flood of unicast frames whose destination MAC address isn't in the forwarding table, which the switch would otherwise flood out all ports. For example, enabling this on a port suspected of generating excessive unknown-unicast traffic helps contain the resulting flooding impact on the rest of the switch.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.25.3.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PKT-STORM-CTRL-MIB::swPktStormCtrlUnicastStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.25.3.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PKT-STORM-CTRL-MIB::swPktStormCtrlUnicastStatus.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.25.3.1.1.5.1 i <value>
