paraPortType
Module: RFC1318-MIB
OID (symbolic): RFC1318-MIB::paraPortType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The port's hardware type.
What is paraPortType?
This read-only value reports the hardware type of a parallel port: other(1), centronics(2), or dataproducts(3). Admins check it to know which parallel interface standard a given port implements, which matters for cabling and compatibility with connected printers. For example, seeing centronics(2) here confirms that port uses the standard Centronics parallel interface most legacy printers expect.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1318-MIB::paraPortType
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1318-MIB::paraPortType.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> paraPortType.1
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, print servers/devices with parallel printer ports with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RFC1318-MIB::paraPortType OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, print servers/devices with parallel printer ports from a single console.
