rlTunnelIfEncapsMethod

Module: CISCOSB-TUNNEL-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCOSB-TUNNEL-MIB::rlTunnelIfEncapsMethod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.122.11.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: IANAtunnelType

Access: read-write

Description: The encapsulation method used by the tunnel. This field added since it is read-only in standard MIB.

What is rlTunnelIfEncapsMethod?

This read-write IANAtunnelType object specifies the encapsulation method used by a given tunnel interface, added here specifically because the standard MIB exposes it read-only. An admin can use this writable object to actually change the tunnel's encapsulation type rather than only being able to observe it, which the standard tunnel MIB doesn't allow. For example, an admin migrating a tunnel from one encapsulation method to another (say from 6to4 to ISATAP) could use this object where the standard MIB would have blocked the change.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.122.11.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-TUNNEL-MIB::rlTunnelIfEncapsMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.122.11.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-TUNNEL-MIB::rlTunnelIfEncapsMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.122.11.1.1.1.1 s <value>
