Displaying the Ports in a VLAN Using SNMP
FTOS identifies VLAN interfaces using an interface index number that is displayed in the output of the
command
show interface vlan, as shown in Figure 16-5.
Figure 16-5. Identifying the VLAN Interface Index Number
To display the ports in a VLAN, send an snmpget request for the object dot1qStaticEgressPorts using the
interface index as the instance number
, as shown in Figure 16-6.
Figure 16-6. Display the Ports in a VLAN in SNMP
The table that the Aggregator system sends in response to the snmpget request is a table that contains
hexadecimal (hex) pairs, each pair representing a group of eight ports.
7 hex pairs represents a stack unit. Seven pairs accommodates the greatest number of ports available
on an Aggregator, 56 ports. The last stack unit is assigned 8 pairs; the eighth pair is unused.
The first hex pair, 00 in Figure 16-6, represents ports 1-7 in Stack Unit 0. The next pair to the right
represents ports 8-15. To resolve the hex pair into a representation of the individual ports, convert the hex
pair to binary. Consider the first hex pair 00, which resolves to 0000 0000 in binary:
Each position in the 8-character string is for one port, starting with Port 1 at the left end of the string,
and ending with Port 8 at the right end. A 0 indicates that the port is not a member of the VLAN; a 1
indicates VLAN membership.
