ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

Module: RFC1248-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1248-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.8.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: For the purpose of easing the instancing of addressed and addressless interfaces; This variable takes the value 0 on interfaces with IP Addresses, and the value of ifIndex for interfaces having no IP Address. On row creation, this can be derived from the instance.

What is ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf?

This takes the value 0 for interfaces that have an IP address, or the corresponding ifIndex for addressless interfaces, letting the metric table index both kinds of interfaces consistently. Admins mainly encounter a nonzero value here on unnumbered links like some point-to-point serial interfaces.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.8.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.8.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.8.1.2.1 i <value>
