Object

scalar SNMPv2-TCMacAddress

The MAC address used by this bridge when it must be
referred to in a unique fashion.  It is recommended
that this be the numerically smallest MAC address of
all ports that belong to this bridge.  However, it is only
          
required to be unique.  When concatenated with
dot1dStpPriority, a unique BridgeIdentifier is formed,
which is used in the Spanning Tree Protocol.

Type Description

Represents an 802 MAC address represented in the
`canonical' order defined by IEEE 802.1a, i.e., as if it
were transmitted least significant bit first, even though
802.5 (in contrast to other 802.x protocols) requires MAC
addresses to be transmitted most significant bit first.
