Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The value of this object is an index that uniquely identifies this instance of the Message Transfer Service.
What is mtsInstanceID?
This read-only INTEGER is a numeric index that uniquely identifies a particular instance of the Message Transfer Service (MTS) running on the device. An admin cares because some devices run more than one MTS instance (e.g. one per module), and this ID is how a monitoring tool tells their counters apart. For example, if a chassis reports instance IDs 2 and 5, all the mtsNumberOf* counters read under instance 2 belong to a different internal message bus than those under instance 5.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.7.2.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CT-MSGXFERSERVICE-MIB::mtsInstanceID
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.7.2.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CT-MSGXFERSERVICE-MIB::mtsInstanceID.1
