ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

Module: RFC1253-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1253-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.8.1.2

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?

For addressless interfaces, holds the corresponding ifIndex; for interfaces with an IP address, this is zero, letting the same table index addressed and unaddressed interfaces consistently.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.8.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1253-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.8.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1253-MIB::ospfIfMetricAddressLessIf.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.8.1.2.1 i <value>
