Switch port information

This chapter presents the objects used to define interfaces on a device. Refer to the configuration guide for details on the features discussed in this chapter.

The following table contains information about the switch port groups.

Switch port information group

The snSwIfInfoTable contains information about the switch port groups.

Name, Identifier, and Syntax

Description

 

 

 

snSwIfInfoTable

N/A

The Switch Port Information Table.

brcdIp.1.1.3.3.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

snSwIfInfoEntry

N/A

An entry in the snSwIfInfo table indicates the configuration for a

brcdIp.1.1.3.3.5

 

specified port.

 

 

 

snSwIfInfoPortNum

Read only

Shows the port or interface index.

brcdIp.1.1.3.3.5.1.1

 

 

 

Syntax: InterfaceIndex

 

 

 

 

 

 

snSwIfInfoTagMode

Read-write

Indicates if the port has an 802.1Q tag:

brcdIp.1.1.3.3.5.1.4

 

tagged(1) – Ports can have multiple VLAN IDs since these

Syntax: Integer

 

ports can be members of more than one VLAN.

 

 

untagged(2) – There is only one VLAN ID per port.

 

 

dual(3) – Ports can have multiple VLANs per port.

snSwIfInfoChnMode

Read-write

Indicates if the port operates in half- or full-duplex mode:

brcdIp.1.1.3.3.5.1.6

 

halfDuplex(1) – Half duplex mode.

Syntax: Integer

 

fullDuplex(2) – Full duplex mode. 100BaseFx, 1000BaseSx,

 

 

 

and 1000BaseLx ports operate only at fullDuplex(2).

 

 

The read-back channel status from hardware can be:

 

 

halfDuplex(1) – Half duplex mode.

 

 

fullDuplex(2) – Full duplex mode.

The port media type (expansion or regular) and port link type (trunk or feeder) determine whether this object can be written andthe value of this object.

Note that “writing” this variable writes the forced-mode configuration, which is used when autonegotiation is disabled, and has nothing to do with the current operation mode when autonegotiation is enabled.
