flowDataSourceAdjacentType

Module: FLOW-METER-MIB

OID (symbolic): FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataSourceAdjacentType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.2.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: AdjacentType

Access: read-only

Description: Adjacent address type of the source for this flow.

If metering is being performed at the network level, AdjacentType will indicate the medium for the interface on which the flow was observed and AdjacentAddress will be the MAC address for that interface. This is the usual case.

If traffic is being metered inside a tunnel, AdjacentType will be the peer type of the host at the end of the tunnel and AdjacentAddress will be the peer address for that host.

What is flowDataSourceAdjacentType?

Identifies the medium type (such as ethernet) of the adjacent device on the path to this flow's source, or, if metering is happening inside a tunnel, the peer type of the far end. An admin reads this alongside the adjacent address to know how to interpret that address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataSourceAdjacentType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataSourceAdjacentType.1
