Description: This indicates whether the remote application is some type of client making use of this network service (e.g., a Mail User Agent) or a server acting as a peer. Also indicated is whether the remote end initiated an incoming connection to the network service or responded to an outgoing connection made by the local application. MTAs and messaging gateways are considered to be peers for the purposes of this variable.

What is assocApplicationType?

This object indicates whether the remote end of an association is acting as a client (user agent) or a peer server, and whether it initiated the connection or responded to one initiated locally. Admins use it to distinguish, for example, an inbound client session from a peer-to-peer relay connection in the association table. For example, a value of peerinitiator(3) would indicate the remote system is a peer application that initiated this connection to the local service.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.27.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB::assocApplicationType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.27.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB::assocApplicationType.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> assocApplicationType.1
