What is pimNeighborBidirCapable?

This read-only object indicates whether a PIM neighbor supports Bidirectional PIM (BIDIR-PIM), a multicast routing protocol mode allowing efficient one-to-many communication. A TRUE value means the neighbor has advertised capability for bidirectional group mode operation. Multicast network operators check this value to verify protocol compatibility before enabling bidirectional groups.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.157.1.2.1.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PIM-STD-MIB::pimNeighborBidirCapable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.157.1.2.1.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PIM-STD-MIB::pimNeighborBidirCapable.1
