ifRcvAddressType
Module: IF-MIB
OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifRcvAddressType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.4.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description: This object has the value nonVolatile(3) for those entries in the table which are valid and will not be deleted by the next restart of the managed system. Entries having the value volatile(2) are valid and exist, but have not been saved, so that will not exist after the next restart of the managed system. Entries having the value other(1) are valid and exist but are not classified as to whether they will continue to exist after the next restart.
What is ifRcvAddressType?
This read-create INTEGER classifies an entry in the ifRcvAddressTable as nonVolatile(3) if it will survive the next restart, volatile(2) if it exists now but will be lost on restart, or other(1) if that isn't classified, defaulting to volatile. Admins rely on this to know whether an additional MAC/receive address they or the device configured on an interface needs to be reapplied after a reboot. For example, a statically configured secondary receive address shows nonVolatile(3), while one added dynamically by a protocol shows volatile(2) and disappears after the next restart.
