mplsPathType

Module: MPLS-MIB

OID (symbolic): MPLS-MIB::mplsPathType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.18

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 mplsPathName is not empty. The value bypass applies to bypass tunnels. A bypass tunnel may have an empty mplsPathName.

What is mplsPathType?

This deprecated value classified an LSP's active path as other(1), primary(2), standby(3), secondary(4), or bypass(5) in the legacy table; only meaningful when mplsPathName wasn't empty (bypass paths could have an empty name). It has been superseded by mplsPathInfoType.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-MIB::mplsPathType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.2.3.1.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-MIB::mplsPathType.1
