hwIfIpMethod

Module: HUAWEI-IF-EXT-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-IF-EXT-MIB::hwIfIpMethod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.41.1.2.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Description: Interface IP address acquiring method.

assignedIp(1) indicates that the address was manually configured to a specified address, for example, by user configuration.

dhcpIp(2) indicates an address that was assigned to this system by a DHCP server.

bootpIp(3) indicates an address that was assigned to this system by the bootp protocol.

other(4) indicates an address created by another method.

linklayer(5) indicates an address created by IPv6 stateless auto-configuration.

random(6) indicates an address chosen by the system at random, for example, an IPv4 address within 169.254/16, or an RFC 3041 privacy address.

What is hwIfIpMethod?

Reports/sets how the interface obtained its IP address - manually assignedIp(1), from a dhcpIp(2) server, via bootpIp(3), or auto-generated via linklayer(5)/random(6) - helping an admin quickly tell a statically configured interface apart from a DHCP client one.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.41.1.2.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-IF-EXT-MIB::hwIfIpMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.41.1.2.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-IF-EXT-MIB::hwIfIpMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.41.1.2.1.1.7.1 i <value>
