rcTengIfPromiscuousMode
Module: RAPID-CITY
OID (symbolic): RAPID-CITY::rcTengIfPromiscuousMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.50.1.4.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: This object has a value of false(2) If this interface only accepts packets/frames that are addressed to this station. This object has a value of true(1) when the station accepts all packets/frames transmitted on the media. The value true(1) is only legal on certain types of media. If legal, setting this object to a value of true(1) may require the interface to be reset before becoming effective.
The value of rcTengIfPromiscuousMode does not affect the reception of broadcast and multicast packets/frames by the interface.
What is rcTengIfPromiscuousMode?
This OID stores a yes/no setting that controls whether the network interface accepts all transmitted packets or only those addressed to it. Setting this to 'yes' puts the interface in promiscuous mode, meaning it listens to all traffic on the network segment regardless of destination. Network operators enable this mode temporarily when using network monitoring tools (like packet sniffers) to capture and analyze all traffic passing through that port.
