vlanPortGroupInstance

Module: VLAN-MIB

OID (symbolic): VLAN-MIB::vlanPortGroupInstance

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.1.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-create

Description: The index that identifies the the sub tree in the
vlanPortGroupTable that should be walked to retrieve
the group of ports in this VLAN.

IMPORTANT: This table has slightly different semantics than
the next three objects because in all 802 VLANs, in the end
they all resolve down to a group of ports.

Therefore, this object has the following semantic based on
its value and the value of vlanType:

   vlanType    vlanPortGroupInstance    mode
   ------------------  -------------------------------  ----
   Port-based set      points to a user configured      Manual
                       set of ports
   Port-based not set  0 - There are no ports assigned  Auto
                       to this VLAN at this time.
   Port-based not set  non zero - points to a system    Auto
                       (agent) maintained list of ports

What is vlanPortGroupInstance?

This Integer32 object is the index into the vlanPortGroupTable identifying which port group belongs to this VLAN, and its meaning depends on the VLAN's vlanType setting. When the VLAN is manually port-based, it points to an administrator-configured set of ports; when the VLAN is automatically port-based, a value of 0 means no ports are yet assigned while a nonzero value points to a switch-maintained port list, so this single field can represent either manual or automatic port membership. An admin manually building a port-based VLAN would set vlanPortGroupInstance to 5, pointing at the port group in vlanPortGroupTable that lists ports 1, 3, and 7 as VLAN members.
