What is fibNextHopMac?

This read-write MAC address specifies the Layer 2 address of the next-hop device associated with this FIB entry's next-hop IP. The switch uses it to rewrite the destination MAC address on forwarded frames without needing a fresh ARP lookup each time. For example, this field would hold the MAC address the switch resolved for the gateway at fibNextHop's IP.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.3.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-FIB-MIB::fibNextHopMac

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.3.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-FIB-MIB::fibNextHopMac.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.3.1.1.1.5.1 s <value>
