ifPhysAddress

Module: IF-MIB

OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: PhysAddress

Access: read-only

Description: The interface's address at its protocol sub-layer. For example, for an 802.x interface, this object normally contains a MAC address. The interface's media-specific MIB must define the bit and byte ordering and the format of the value of this object. For interfaces which do not have such an address (e.g., a serial line), this object should contain an octet string of zero length.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.1
