mplsPathInfoType

Module: MPLS-MIB

OID (symbolic): MPLS-MIB::mplsPathInfoType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.5.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The type of path that is active, i.e., a primary path, a standby path, a generic secondary path, or a bypass path. The value other, primary, standby and secondary apply to data LSPs, and are meaningful only if mplsPathInfoName is not empty. The value bypass applies to bypass tunnels. A bypass tunnel may have an empty mplsPathInfoName.

What is mplsPathInfoType?

This value classifies an LSP's currently active path as other(1), primary(2), standby(3), secondary(4), or bypass(5); the first four apply to data LSPs and are meaningful only when mplsPathInfoName isn't empty, while bypass tunnels may have an empty path name. Admins use it to confirm whether traffic is riding the primary path or has failed over to a backup.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.5.1.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-MIB::mplsPathInfoType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.5.1.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-MIB::mplsPathInfoType.1
