Module: IF-MIB

OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifSpecific

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.22

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OBJECT IDENTIFIER

Access: read-only

Description: A reference to MIB definitions specific to the particular media being used to realize the interface. It is

recommended that this value point to an instance of a MIB object in the media-specific MIB, i.e., that this object have the semantics associated with the InstancePointer textual convention defined in RFC 2579. In fact, it is recommended that the media-specific MIB specify what value ifSpecific should/can take for values of ifType. If no MIB definitions specific to the particular media are available, the value should be set to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER { 0 0 }.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.22
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IF-MIB::ifSpecific

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.22.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IF-MIB::ifSpecific.1
