OID (symbolic): IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrStatus

Description: Address status. The preferred(1) state indicates that this is a valid address that can appear as the destination or source address of a packet. The deprecated(2) state indicates that this is a valid but deprecated address that should no longer be used as a source address in new communications, but packets addressed to such an address are processed as expected. The invalid(3) state indicates that this is not valid address which should not appear as the destination or source address of a packet. The inaccessible(4) state indicates that the address is not accessible because the interface to which this address is assigned is not operational.

This object is obsoleted by IP-MIB::ipAddressStatus.

What is ipv6AddrStatus?

Reported an address's lifecycle state: preferred(1) (fully usable), deprecated(2) (still valid but shouldn't be used as a new source address), invalid(3), inaccessible(4) (its interface is down), or unknown(5). Obsolete, replaced by IP-MIB::ipAddressStatus.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.8.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.8.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6AddrStatus.1
