ipMcastScopeNameString

OID (symbolic): IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastScopeNameString

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.8.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-create

Description: The textual name associated with the multicast scope. The value of this object should be suitable for displaying to end-users, such as when allocating a multicast address in this scope.

When no name is specified, the default value of this object for IPv4 should be the string 239.x.x.x/y with x and y replaced with decimal values to describe the address and mask length associated with the scope.

When no name is specified, the default value of this object for IPv6 should be the string FF0x::/16, with x replaced by the hexadecimal value for the RFC 4291 multicast scope.

An IPv6 address prefixed by FF1x::/16 is a non-permanently- assigned address. An IPv6 address prefixed by FF3x::/16 is a unicast-prefix-based multicast addresses. A scope FF0x::/16 implies an identical scope name for these other prefixes. No separate FF1x::/16 or FF3x::/16 entries exist in this table.

What is ipMcastScopeNameString?

Holds the human-readable name assigned to a multicast address scope (e.g. 'Site-Local'), shown to end users when they're picking an address range for a new multicast group; if left unset it defaults to a string describing the address/prefix itself.
