Module: RC-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgBridgeForwardDelay

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.4.1.19

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Timeout

Access: read-write

Description: The value that all bridges use for ForwardDelay when this bridge is acting as the root. Note that 802.1D-1990 specifies that the range for this parameter is related to the value of rcStgBridgeMaxAge. The granularity of this timer is specified by 802.1D-1990 to be 1 second. An agent may return a badValue error if a set is attempted to a value which is not a whole number of seconds.

What is rcStgBridgeForwardDelay?

The Forward Delay value, in hundredths of a second, that this bridge would have all bridges in the Spanning Tree Group use if it became root; defaults to 1500 (15 seconds) and must be a whole number of seconds. Admins adjust this to control how long ports would spend in listening/learning states network-wide should this bridge become the STP root.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.4.1.19
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgBridgeForwardDelay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.4.1.19.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgBridgeForwardDelay.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.4.1.19.1 s <value>
