dot3OamPeerMacAddress

Module: EFM-COMMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamPeerMacAddress

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: MacAddress

Access: read-only

Description: The MAC address of the peer OAM entity. The MAC address is derived from the most recently received OAMPDU. This value is initialized to all zeros (0x000000000000). This value is invalid if the dot3OamPeerStatus is inactive.

An OAMPDU is indicated by a valid frame with (1) destination MAC address equal to that of the reserved MAC address for Slow Protocols (See 43B of [802.3ah]), (2) a lengthOrType field equal to the reserved type for Slow Protocols, (3) and a Slow Protocols subtype equal to that of the subtype reserved for OAM.

What is dot3OamPeerMacAddress?

The MAC address of the peer OAM entity, learned from the most recently received OAM PDU; reads as all-zeros until a peer is discovered, and is meaningless while dot3OamPeerStatus is inactive.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamPeerMacAddress

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamPeerMacAddress.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dot3OamPeerMacAddress.1
