paraPortIndex
Module: PARALLEL-MIB
OID (symbolic): PARALLEL-MIB::paraPortIndex
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: InterfaceIndex
Access: read-only
Description: The value of ifIndex for the port. By convention and if possible, hardware port numbers map directly to external connectors. The value for each port must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the network management agent to the next.
What is paraPortIndex?
This is the ifIndex value identifying a specific parallel port, indexing its row in the paraPortTable, and by convention corresponds directly to the port's external physical connector. An admin uses this value to correlate a parallel port's entries in this MIB with its corresponding interface entry in the standard IF-MIB, and can rely on it staying constant across agent restarts when tracking a specific port over time. For example, paraPortIndex value 5 would consistently refer to the same physical parallel connector on the device even after the SNMP agent is restarted.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PARALLEL-MIB::paraPortIndex
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PARALLEL-MIB::paraPortIndex.1
