memIfName

Module: OPENBSD-MEM-MIB

OID (symbolic): OPENBSD-MEM-MIB::memIfName

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.5.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-only

Description: The textual name of the interface as assigned by the operating system. For example, `lo0' for the first loopback device or `em1' for the second Ethernet device using the `em' driver.

What is memIfName?

This holds the operating-system-assigned name of a network interface being tracked in this table, such as the interface's device driver name and unit number. An admin uses this to match a given row of memory-related interface statistics back to a specific physical or virtual interface on the OpenBSD box. For example, this OID might report a value like 'em1', identifying the second Ethernet interface using the em driver.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.5.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-MEM-MIB::memIfName

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.5.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-MEM-MIB::memIfName.1

SNMPv3 example:

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