ipv6InterfaceForwarding
Module: IP-MIB
OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipv6InterfaceForwarding
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.30.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IPv6 router on this interface with respect to the forwarding of datagrams received by, but not addressed to, this entity. IPv6 routers forward datagrams. IPv6 hosts do not (except those source-routed via the host).
This object is constrained by ipv6IpForwarding and is ignored if ipv6IpForwarding is set to notForwarding. Those systems that do not provide per-interface control of the forwarding function should set this object to forwarding for all interfaces and allow the ipv6IpForwarding object to control the forwarding capability.
When this object is written, the entity SHOULD save the change to non-volatile storage and restore the object from non-volatile storage upon re-initialization of the system.
What is ipv6InterfaceForwarding?
Indicates whether this device is acting as an IPv6 router (forwarding(1)) or not (notForwarding(2)) on this interface; it is constrained by, and ignored when, the global ipv6IpForwarding object is set to notForwarding.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.30.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipv6InterfaceForwarding
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.30.1.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipv6InterfaceForwarding.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.30.1.8.1 i <value>
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ipv6InterfaceForwarding.1
