What is ipForwardIfIndex?
This OID stores the internal port number (interface index) where data packets for a specific route should be sent. It ties each routing table entry to the physical or virtual network interface that handles that traffic. A network admin would verify this points to the correct port when troubleshooting why traffic isn't reaching expected destinations.
