ctIPDefaultFrameType

Module: IRM3-MIB

OID (symbolic): IRM3-MIB::ctIPDefaultFrameType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.1.2.1.1.56

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Defines the default frame type that will be used by the device. A device will understand both frame types and will respond based upon the framing type that is learned for the given address. This object defines the type of framing that will be used if no framing is known, for example ARP requests.

Setting a value of 8022snap(2) will result in framing 802.3 - 802.2 - IP packets being generated by default.

Setting a value of ethernet(1) will result in framing ethernet IP packets by default.

What is ctIPDefaultFrameType?

Sets the default Ethernet framing (ethernet-II or 802.3/802.2 SNAP) the device uses for IP traffic, such as ARP requests, when no learned framing type is already known for a given address. The device auto-detects framing per learned address and only falls back to this default for the initial contact; an admin sets it to match whatever framing the rest of the IP network expects.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.1.2.1.1.56
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IRM3-MIB::ctIPDefaultFrameType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.1.2.1.1.56.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IRM3-MIB::ctIPDefaultFrameType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.1.2.1.1.56.1 i <value>
