ipv6AddrPfxLength

Module: IPV6-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrPfxLength

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.8.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The length of the prefix (in bits) associated with the IPv6 address of this entry.

This object is obsoleted by the IP-MIB::ipAddressPrefixLength in the row of the IP-MIB::ipAddressPrefixTable to which the IP-MIB::ipAddressPrefix points.

What is ipv6AddrPfxLength?

This OID holds the network prefix length in bits for an IPv6 address (e.g., 64 for /64 networks). It defines the size of the local network segment. A network admin would check this when verifying subnet configurations.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.8.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrPfxLength

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.8.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrPfxLength.1
