Module: RC-BRIDGE-MIB
OID (symbolic): RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcStgProtocolSpecification
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.13.4.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: An indication of what version of the Spanning Tree Protocol is being run. The value 'decLb100(2)' indicates the DEC LANbridge 100 Spanning Tree protocol. IEEE 802.1d implementations will return 'ieee8021d(3)'. If future versions of the IEEE Spanning Tree Protocol are released that are incompatible with the current version a new value will be defined.
What is rcStgProtocolSpecification?
Indicates which Spanning Tree Protocol variant this Spanning Tree Group is running: unknown, DEC LANbridge 100, IEEE 802.1D, or PVST. Admins check this to confirm a STG is running the expected protocol variant, particularly in mixed-vendor networks where PVST compatibility matters.
