charPortHardware

Module: CHARACTER-MIB

OID (symbolic): CHARACTER-MIB::charPortHardware

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.19.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: AutonomousType

Access: read-only

Description: A reference to hardware MIB definitions specific to a physical port's external connector. For example, if the connector is RS-232, then the value of this object refers to a MIB sub-tree defining objects specific to RS-232. If an agent is not configured to have such values, the agent returns the object identifier:

nullHardware OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 0 0 }

What is charPortHardware?

A read-only reference pointing to hardware-specific MIB definitions for the port's physical connector type (e.g., RS-232), when the agent supports such detail.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.19.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CHARACTER-MIB::charPortHardware

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.19.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CHARACTER-MIB::charPortHardware.1
