Description: The index of the vdp entry for the hardware component.

What is vpdIndex?

This object is a secondary index distinguishing individual vital-product-data (VPD) records that belong to the same hardware component, since one component can have multiple VPD fields, such as serial number and part number, each stored as a separate row. Administrators use it together with vpdHwComponentIndex to uniquely identify one specific VPD data field for a specific piece of hardware. For example, for a given PCI adapter's hardware index, vpdIndex 3 might correspond to that adapter's serial-number record specifically.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.118.1.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MSSCOMMON-MIB::vpdIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.118.1.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MSSCOMMON-MIB::vpdIndex.1
