Description: Pooling behavior is the policy used to select the address for a new port mapping within a given address pool to which the internal address has already been mapped.

arbitrary(0) pooling behavior means that the NAT instance may create the new port mapping using any address in the pool that has a free port for the protocol concerned.

paired(1) pooling behavior, the behavior RECOMMENDED by RFC 4787, REQ-2, means that once a given internal address has been mapped to a particular address in a particular pool, further mappings of the same internal address to that pool will reuse the previously assigned pool member address.

What is natv2InstancePoolingBehavior?

Reports whether the NAT instance allocates addresses from a pool arbitrarily or with 'paired' behavior that reuses the same pool address for repeat mappings of the same internal address; an admin favors paired behavior when downstream applications rely on a subscriber's external address staying consistent.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.234.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NATV2-MIB::natv2InstancePoolingBehavior

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.234.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NATV2-MIB::natv2InstancePoolingBehavior.1
