xstInstanceCfgPathCostMethod

Module: PowerConnect3248-MIB

OID (symbolic): PowerConnect3248-MIB::xstInstanceCfgPathCostMethod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.3.1.5.6.4.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: For MST or RST protocol, this indicates the type of spanning tree path cost mode used by the switch. The mode applies to all instances of the Spanning Tree protocol running on the switch.

When the value of this MIB object is changed, the path cost of all ports will be reassigned to the default path cost values based on the new spanning tree path cost mode and the ports' speed.

When the value of this MIB object is set to long(2), the xstInstancePortPathCost MIB object must be used in order to retrieve/configure the spanning tree port path cost as a 32 bit value. The set operation on dot1dStpPortPathCost in BRIDGE-MIB will be rejected. While retrieving the value of dot1dStpPortPathCost, the maximum value of 65535 will be returned if the value of xstInstancePortPathCost for the same instance exceeds 65535.

When the value of this MIB object is set to short(1), the dot1dStpPortPathCost in BRIDGE-MIB must be used.

What is xstInstanceCfgPathCostMethod?

Reports whether this instance's spanning tree ports use short(1), 16-bit, or long(2), 32-bit path-cost values; when long(2) is in effect, xstInstancePortPathCost must be used instead of dot1dStpPortPathCost to read or set a port's cost.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.3.1.5.6.4.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PowerConnect3248-MIB::xstInstanceCfgPathCostMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.3.1.5.6.4.1.16.1
