swDHCPv6RelayHopCount

Module: DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB

OID (symbolic): DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB::swDHCPv6RelayHopCount

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.84.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object indicates the maximum number of router hops that the DHCPv6 packets can cross.

What is swDHCPv6RelayHopCount?

This value sets the maximum number of router hops that DHCPv6 packets are allowed to cross while being relayed. Admins tune it to prevent DHCPv6 relay messages from looping or traveling further than the intended network topology requires. For example, setting it to 4 limits relayed DHCPv6 requests to at most four router hops before they are dropped.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.84.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB::swDHCPv6RelayHopCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.84.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB::swDHCPv6RelayHopCount.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.84.1.1.1 i <value>
