Module: DOCS-IETF-QOS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-IETF-QOS-MIB::docsIetfQosPktClassEnetProtocolType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.127.1.1.1.20

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This object indicates the format of the layer 3 protocol ID in the Ethernet packet. A value of none(0) means that the rule does not use the layer 3 protocol type as a matching criteria.

A value of ethertype(1) means that the rule applies only to frames that contain an EtherType value. Ethertype values are contained in packets using the Dec-Intel-Xerox (DIX) encapsulation or the RFC1042 Sub-Network Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulation formats.

A value of dsap(2) means that the rule applies

only to frames using the IEEE802.3 encapsulation format with a Destination Service Access Point (DSAP) other than 0xAA (which is reserved for SNAP).

A value of mac(3) means that the rule applies only to MAC management messages for MAC management messages.

A value of all(4) means that the rule matches all Ethernet packets.

If the Ethernet frame contains an 802.1P/Q Tag header (i.e., EtherType 0x8100), this object applies to the embedded EtherType field within the 802.1P/Q header.

If the referenced parameter is not present in a classifier, this object reports the value of 0.

What is docsIetfQosPktClassEnetProtocolType?

Selects how the layer-3 protocol identifier in an Ethernet frame is interpreted for matching: none(0) ignores it, ethertype(1) matches an EtherType value, dsap(2) matches an 802.3 DSAP byte, mac(3) matches MAC-management message types, and all(4) matches every Ethernet frame. Set this before docsIetfQosPktClassEnetProtocol, since that field's meaning depends entirely on this choice.
