What is pfRunning?

A boolean flag showing whether the OpenBSD packet filter (pf) is currently enabled. Check this first when troubleshooting connectivity or firewall issues - if it reads false, none of pf's rules are being enforced even though a ruleset may be loaded.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfRunning

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfRunning.1
