midcomRuleExternalIpVersion

Module: MIDCOM-MIB

OID (symbolic): MIDCOM-MIB::midcomRuleExternalIpVersion

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.171.1.1.3.1.15

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: InetAddressType

Access: read-create

Description: IP version of the external address (A3) and the outside address (A2). Allowed values are ipv4(1) and ipv6(2).

This object is used as input to a request for establishing a policy rule as well as for indicating the properties of an established policy rule.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has the value newEntry(1) or setting(2), then this object can be written by a manager in order to specify the IP version required at the outside of the middlebox. Writing to this object in any state other than newEntry(1) or setting(2) will always fail with an 'inconsistentValue' error. Note that this error code is SNMP specific. If the MIB module is used with other protocols than SNMP, errors with similar semantics specific to those protocols should be returned.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has the value reserved(7) or enabled(8), then this object indicates the external/outside IP version.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has a value other than newEntry(1), setting(2), reserved(7) or enabled(8), then the value of this object is irrelevant.

What is midcomRuleExternalIpVersion?

Specifies the IP version — ipv4(1) or ipv6(2) — of this rule's external (A3) and outside (A2) addresses, needed to correctly interpret midcomRuleExternalIpAddr.
