portInterfaceIndex

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portInterfaceIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The value of this object equals the ports interface index value, ex. portIfIndex. If the value of this object is zero, then the port is not active, i.e. does not appear in the portIfTable.

What is portInterfaceIndex?

Cross-references a physical port entry to its corresponding row in portIfTable via the same index value used as portIfIndex; a value of zero means the port is not active and has no interface-table entry. Admins use this to join port-level hardware data with interface-level configuration data for the same physical port.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portInterfaceIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.3.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portInterfaceIndex.1

Start monitoring Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ETH-SWITCH-MIB::portInterfaceIndex OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) from a single console.
