Module: PCAP-MIB
OID (symbolic): PCAP-MIB::pcapDevice
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.1112.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING

Description: The device network traffic is being monitored on.
What is pcapDevice?
This read-only field names the network interface or device that this packet-capture session is listening on. Admins use it to confirm a capture is attached to the correct interface, since a system can have multiple interfaces available for monitoring. For example, pcapDevice might contain "eth0" to show the capture session is sniffing traffic on that specific interface rather than another NIC.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.1112.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PCAP-MIB::pcapDevice
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.1112.2.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PCAP-MIB::pcapDevice.1
