ipv6Forwarding
Module: IPV6-MIB
OID (symbolic): IPV6-MIB::ipv6Forwarding
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IPv6 router 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).
Note that for some managed nodes, this object may take on only a subset of the values possible. Accordingly, it is appropriate for an agent to return a `wrongValue' response if a management station attempts to change this object to an inappropriate value.
This object is obsoleted by IP-MIB::ipv6IpForwarding.
What is ipv6Forwarding?
Indicated whether the device was acting as an IPv6 router (forwarding(1)) or purely as a host (notForwarding(2)). This object is obsolete, superseded by IP-MIB::ipv6IpForwarding, so a modern admin should read the routing/forwarding state from that object instead.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6Forwarding
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPV6-MIB::ipv6Forwarding.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.1.1 i <value>
