ifPromiscuousMode
Module: ITF-MIB
OID (symbolic): ITF-MIB::ifPromiscuousMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.16
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: This object has a value of false(2) if this interface only accepts packets/frames that are addressed to this station. This object has a value of true(1) when the station accepts all packets/frames transmitted on the media. The value true(1) is only legal on certain types of media. If legal, setting this object to a value of true(1) may require the interface to be reset before becoming effective.
The value of ifPromiscuousMode does not affect the reception of broadcast and multicast packets/frames by the interface.

What is ifPromiscuousMode?
Controls whether the interface only accepts frames addressed to this station, false, or accepts all frames transmitted on the shared media, true; the true setting is only legal on certain media types and may require an interface reset to take effect. It does not affect reception of broadcast and multicast frames either way. An admin setting up a monitoring port for packet capture would set this to true(1) so the interface captures traffic not specifically addressed to it.
