Description: The routing mechanism via which this route was learned. Inclusion of values for gateway rout- ing protocols is not intended to imply that hosts should support those protocols.

What is ipForwardProto?

This value identifies the routing mechanism or protocol, such as a static entry, RIP, OSPF, or BGP, through which a particular forwarding table entry was learned. Admins use it to distinguish manually configured routes from those learned dynamically, and to identify which routing protocol is responsible for a given route when diagnosing routing issues. For example, an entry with this value set to ospf(13) tells an admin that route was learned via OSPF rather than being a static entry an operator configured by hand.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1354-MIB::ipForwardProto

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1354-MIB::ipForwardProto.1
