hostControlIndex
Module: RMON-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON-MIB::hostControlIndex
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.1.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: An index that uniquely identifies an entry in the
hostControl table. Each such entry defines a function that discovers hosts on a particular interface and places statistics about them in the hostTable and the hostTimeTable on behalf of this hostControlEntry.
What is hostControlIndex?
This object identifies a specific monitoring function in a network probe that discovers and tracks hosts on a particular network interface. It acts as a unique reference number for each host discovery and statistics collection task configured on the monitoring device. An operator would use this index to manage, retrieve, or control individual host monitoring sessions running on different interfaces.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.1.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::hostControlIndex
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.1.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::hostControlIndex.1
