wwpContainmentBroadcastAction
Module: WWP-CONTAINMENT-MIB
OID (symbolic): WWP-CONTAINMENT-MIB::wwpContainmentBroadcastAction
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.55.1.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This value defines the action that is associated with the broadcast containment mechanism for this port.
When this object contains the value of disable(1), then all broadcast containment activity for this port is disabled.
When this object contains the value of monitor(1), then the broadcast containment mechanism will not inhibit packet forwarding on this port while the broadcast containment mechanism is engaged. This setting is useful for monitoring SNMP traps that may be generated by the broadcast containment mechanism.
When this object contains the value of throttle(2), then the broadcast containment mechanism will inhibit packet forwarding on this port while the broadcast containment mechanism is engaged.
What is wwpContainmentBroadcastAction?
This read-write enumerated value sets what the broadcast containment mechanism does on this port when triggered: disable(1) turns off containment entirely, monitor(2) lets traps fire without blocking forwarding, and throttle(3) actively inhibits forwarding while engaged. Admins choose monitor(2) to observe broadcast storm conditions via traps without impacting traffic, or throttle(3) to actively protect the network once conditions are understood. For example, setting this to throttle(3) on an access port would cause the switch to stop forwarding broadcast traffic on that port once the storm threshold is exceeded.
