pktcMtaDevServerDns1

Module: PKTC-IETF-MTA-MIB

OID (symbolic): PKTC-IETF-MTA-MIB::pktcMtaDevServerDns1

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.2.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: InetAddress

Access: read-write

Description: This object contains the IP Address of the primary DNS server to be used by the MTA. The type of this address is determined by the value of the pktcMtaDevDnsServerAddressType object. When the latter has the value 'ipv4(1)', this object contains the IP address of the primary DNS server. As defined in RFC 2132, PacketCable-compliant MTAs receive the IP addresses of the DNS Servers in DHCP option 6. The behavior of this object when the value of pktcMtaDevDnsServerAddressType is other than 'ipv4(1)'

is not presently specified, but it may be specified in future versions of this MIB module. If a value is written into an instance of pktcMtaDevServerDns1, the agent MUST NOT retain the supplied value across MTA re-initializations or reboots.

What is pktcMtaDevServerDns1?

The primary DNS server IP address the MTA uses, sourced from DHCP option 6 but settable via SNMP; useful when a device needs to be pointed at a different resolver for troubleshooting name resolution issues.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.2.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PKTC-IETF-MTA-MIB::pktcMtaDevServerDns1

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.2.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PKTC-IETF-MTA-MIB::pktcMtaDevServerDns1.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.2.5.1 s <value>
