flowRuleMask

Module: FLOW-METER-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.3.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: RuleAddress

Access: read-write

Description: The initial mask used to compute the desired value. If the mask is zero the rule's test will always succeed.

What is flowRuleMask?

Holds the bitmask applied to the tested attribute before comparing it against flowRuleMatchedValue; a mask of all zeros makes the rule's test always succeed. An admin uses a partial mask here to match a subnet or address range rather than one exact value.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.3.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowRuleMask

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.3.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowRuleMask.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.3.1.1.4.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

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