Description: The OSPF Interface State.

What is ospfIfState?

This reports the current OSPF state of this interface, such as waiting(3) while it determines the DR/BDR on a multi-access network, or designatedRouter(5)/backupDesignatedRouter(6) once an election completes. Admins check this when an interface isn't forming expected adjacencies, e.g. seeing it stuck in waiting instead of progressing to pointToPoint or a DR/BDR state.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.7.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfIfState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.7.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfIfState.1
