ageFilterDatabase

Module: PLAINTREE-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): PLAINTREE-SWITCH-MIB::ageFilterDatabase

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.295.3.2.1.1.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Setting this variable to FALSE (0) causes the switch to stop aging out entries from its filter database. Setting this variable to TRUE (1) causes the switch to age out filter database entries as defined in IEEE 802.1D. This variable is set to 0 whenever the Switch restarts.

What is ageFilterDatabase?

Controls whether the switch ages out learned MAC address entries per IEEE 802.1D; setting it to 0 freezes the filtering database, useful for troubleshooting a flapping MAC, while 1 resumes normal aging. It's reset to 0 on every switch restart.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.295.3.2.1.1.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PLAINTREE-SWITCH-MIB::ageFilterDatabase

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.295.3.2.1.1.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PLAINTREE-SWITCH-MIB::ageFilterDatabase.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.295.3.2.1.1.1.12.1 i <value>
