ipMcastRouteRtType
Module: IPMCAST-MIB
OID (symbolic): IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteRtType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The reason the given route was placed in the (logical) multicast Routing Information Base (RIB). A value of unicast means that the route would normally be placed only in the unicast RIB, but was placed in the multicast RIB due (instead or in addition) to local configuration, such as when running PIM over RIP. A value of multicast means that the route was explicitly added to the multicast RIB by the routing protocol, such as the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) or Multiprotocol BGP.
What is ipMcastRouteRtType?
Indicates why the underlying route ended up in the multicast RIB: unicast(1) means it's normally a unicast-only route pressed into multicast service (e.g. PIM over RIP), while multicast(2) means a protocol like DVMRP explicitly added it for multicast use.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.17 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteRtType
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.17.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteRtType.1
