Description: Configure IPv6 behavior.

What is prvtGlobalIPv6Forwarding?

A global writable setting choosing whether the device behaves as an IPv6 host, host(1), or actively forwards IPv6 packets between interfaces as a router, router(2). This is a fundamental operating-mode choice, since a device set to host mode will not route IPv6 traffic between networks even if IPv6 routes are otherwise configured. Setting prvtGlobalIPv6Forwarding to router(2) is required before this device will forward IPv6 traffic between two of its own interfaces.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-ROUTE-MIB::prvtGlobalIPv6Forwarding

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-ROUTE-MIB::prvtGlobalIPv6Forwarding.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.3.1.4.1 i <value>
