ipv6IpForwarding
Module: IP-MIB
OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipv6IpForwarding
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.25
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description:
The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IPv6 router on any interface in 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).
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 ipv6IpForwarding?
This object controls whether the device acts as an IPv6 router (forwarding packets destined for other networks) or operates in host-only mode (processing only packets addressed to itself). Network administrators set this to enable or disable IPv6 routing capability on the device. This is a fundamental configuration that determines whether the system participates in IPv6 packet forwarding or operates as an endpoint.
