ipxCircEncapsulation

Module: CROUTE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CROUTE-MIB::ipxCircEncapsulation

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.2.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The media type (encapsulation of layer2) of this circuit.

What is ipxCircEncapsulation?

This read-write enumerated integer sets the layer-2 encapsulation type used on this IPX circuit: other, Novell raw, Ethernet 802.3, LLC 802.2, or SNAP. An admin matches this to whatever encapsulation the other IPX nodes on that segment expect, since a mismatch prevents IPX communication entirely even though the physical link is up. For example, connecting to older Novell servers using raw 802.3 framing would require setting ipxCircEncapsulation to novell(2) rather than the more common ethernet(3) or snap(5).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.2.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CROUTE-MIB::ipxCircEncapsulation

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.2.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CROUTE-MIB::ipxCircEncapsulation.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.2.1.1.4.1 i <value>
