What is unknownMulticastFrameForwarding?

Selects how the switch handles multicast traffic with no matching IGMP snooping entry: flooding(1) sends it out all ports, or drop(2) discards it. The source MIB's own DESCRIPTION field for this object is empty, so this reading is inferred from the object's name, its SYNTAX/enumeration, and its position in the MIB tree rather than vendor prose. An admin sets this to drop on a network with strict multicast control (relying entirely on IGMP snooping/filtering to admit traffic), or leaves it at flooding for compatibility with multicast applications that don't use IGMP.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.5.8.15.11.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-GS2024-MIB::unknownMulticastFrameForwarding

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.5.8.15.11.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-GS2024-MIB::unknownMulticastFrameForwarding.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.5.8.15.11.4.1 i <value>
