What is discoverymethodid?
This DisplayString field records an identifier for the method or protocol that was used to discover the device represented by this discoveryTable row. It matters to an admin auditing how devices got added to the discovery database, since different discovery methods (such as SNMP polling versus a broadcast probe) can have different reliability and freshness characteristics. As an illustrative example, this field might contain a short code identifying the discovery agent or protocol module, such as 'snmp' or an internal method number.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.15.1.2.1.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DTABLE-MIB2::discoverymethodid
Get a specific instance (index 1):
