rptrPortProtocolOSI
Module: REPEATER-MIB
OID (symbolic): REPEATER-MIB::rptrPortProtocolOSI
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.1.1.4.3.2.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: Get this port's total received OSI protocol packets.
What is rptrPortProtocolOSI?
This read-only Counter32 counts how many OSI packets this individual port has received, one of several legacy per-protocol counters this MIB keeps side by side (OSI, Novell, Banyan, DECnet, XNS, IP, Cabletron management, AppleTalk, and an 'other' catch-all) from an era when one Ethernet segment often carried several network-layer protocols at once. Admins use rptrPortProtocolOSI to confirm which legacy protocols are still actually running on this port's wire before decommissioning old protocol stacks or troubleshooting a mixed-protocol LAN. On a modern all-IP network you'd expect rptrPortProtocolOSI to stay at or near zero; a nonzero count would flag a leftover legacy OSI device still talking on this port's wire.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.1.1.4.3.2.2.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> REPEATER-MIB::rptrPortProtocolOSI
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.1.1.4.3.2.2.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> REPEATER-MIB::rptrPortProtocolOSI.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> rptrPortProtocolOSI.1
