s5EnNodeAgeInterval

Module: S5-ETHERNET-MIB

OID (symbolic): S5-ETHERNET-MIB::s5EnNodeAgeInterval

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.3.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TimeIntervalSec

Access: read-write

Description: The time interval in seconds used for aging out entries in the Show Nodes and Find Nodes Tables (found in the 5000 Common Stats MIB). When a station has not sent a frame within the time interval represented by this object, the corresponding entry is removed from the two tables.

What is s5EnNodeAgeInterval?

This read-write object sets, in seconds and defaulting to 300 (5 minutes), the time interval after which a station's entry is completely removed from the Show Nodes and Find Nodes tables if it has not sent a frame. An admin tunes this to control how long stale node entries linger in the tracking tables before being purged, freeing up table space from devices that have truly left the network. Setting it to 600 would keep a quiet station's entry in the tables for 10 minutes before removing it, rather than the default 5.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.3.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> S5-ETHERNET-MIB::s5EnNodeAgeInterval

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.3.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> S5-ETHERNET-MIB::s5EnNodeAgeInterval.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.3.3.1 s <value>
