IEEE8021VlanIndexOrWildcard

  • Base type Unsigned32
  • Format d

A value used to index per-VLAN tables. The value 0 is not permitted, while the value 4095 represents a 'wildcard' value. An object whose SYNTAX is IEEE8021VlanIndexOrWildcard must specify in its DESCRIPTION the specific meaning of the wildcard value. If the value is between 1 and 4094 inclusive, it represents an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-ID with global scope within a given bridged domain (see VlanId textual convention). If the value is greater than 4095, then it represents a VLAN with scope local to the particular agent, i.e., one without a global VLAN-ID assigned to it. Such VLANs are outside the scope of IEEE 802.1Q, but it is convenient to be able to manage them in the same way using this MIB.
