promSwitchPortTrunkingMode

Module: PROMINET-MIB

OID (symbolic): PROMINET-MIB::promSwitchPortTrunkingMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2167.5.2.1.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The trunking mode of this port. All frames transmitted out this switch port are translated to the appropriate trunking format:

Clear: Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 frame format. This is the default. IEEE 802.1Q: The original frame with a new Ethernet Type (Protocol = 0xXXXX) and the VLAN ID inserted following the original Source Address. Also, the CRC is recalculated. Multi-level: The original frame is encapsulated in an IEEE 802.3 legal frame proprietary to a major networking equipment vendor. 3Com LinkSwitch: The original frame has the VLAN ID added to the front of the frame (before the Destination Address). Trunking format is proprietary to 3Com Corporation.

What is promSwitchPortTrunkingMode?

Frame format used out this port: clear(1) plain Ethernet (default), ieee8021q(2) 802.1Q tagging, multiLevel(3) or trunk3Com(4). Set it to match the link partner on inter-switch trunks.
