configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex

Module: PRVT-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.2.2.2.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: This object connects this port to a sniffer port indexed by the specified ifIndex. Setting this value to 0 disconnects this port from the sniffer.

What is configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex?

Setting this to the ifIndex of another port mirrors this interface's traffic to that port for packet capture/analysis (port mirroring); setting it back to 0 disconnects the mirror.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.2.2.2.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.2.2.2.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.2.2.2.1.12.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> configL2IfaceSnifferIfIndex.1
