a3RipIpExtPolMetric

Module: A3COM-RIP-IPEXTNS-R4-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-RIP-IPEXTNS-R4-MIB::a3RipIpExtPolMetric

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.8.3.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The metric that is to be used in RIP reports of this route. If a metric value in the range of 1 to 15 is specified, the route, together with the specified metric, is reported. If the metric 0 is specified, the routing table metric is calculated according to the formula defined in a3RipIpImpMetTable (for either EGP or BGP). (all fractions are rounded down to the next integer)

What is a3RipIpExtPolMetric?

This integer (0–15) sets the RIP metric advertised for this specific external route. A value of 0 auto-calculates; 1–15 override. An engineer might set 15 to exclude the route (infinite distance) or 1 to prefer it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.8.3.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-RIP-IPEXTNS-R4-MIB::a3RipIpExtPolMetric

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.8.3.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-RIP-IPEXTNS-R4-MIB::a3RipIpExtPolMetric.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.8.3.1.3.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> a3RipIpExtPolMetric.1
