Module: RC-BRIDGE-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.5.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port. 802.1D-1990 recommends that the default value of this parameter be in inverse proportion to the speed of the attached LAN.

What is rcStgPortPathCost?

This port's contribution to the total path cost of any spanning-tree path through it toward the root bridge for this STG; conventionally set in inverse proportion to link speed. Admins raise or lower this to influence which port STP selects as the lowest-cost (preferred) path when multiple links exist toward the root.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.5.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgPortPathCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.5.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgPortPathCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.5.1.7.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> rcStgPortPathCost.1
