Description: Specifies whether TTL is fixed or inherited from the frame.

What is cienaCesMplsStaticIngressTunnelTTLPolicy?

This object specifies whether the MPLS TTL for this static encap tunnel is set to a fixed value or inherited from the customer's original frame, as the description states. Choosing inherit lets the customer's real IP TTL propagate through the tunnel so traceroute-style tools behave correctly end-to-end, while choosing fixed deliberately hides the number of internal MPLS hops from anyone tracerouting through the network -- a topology-hiding choice some carriers make intentionally. For example, a carrier deliberately sets this to fixed specifically so a customer's traceroute never reveals how many internal hops their traffic actually traverses inside the MPLS core.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.18.1.1.2.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-MPLS-MIB::cienaCesMplsStaticIngressTunnelTTLPolicy

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.18.1.1.2.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-MPLS-MIB::cienaCesMplsStaticIngressTunnelTTLPolicy.1
