What is ospfPacketType?

This OID holds the type of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) packet in diagnostic traps—for example, hello packets or link-state packets. When no trap has been generated, it returns a null value. A network engineer troubleshooting OSPF routing issues would examine this to understand which type of routing packet caused the error.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OSPF-TRAP-MIB::ospfPacketType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OSPF-TRAP-MIB::ospfPacketType.1
