protocolDirLocalIndex
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::protocolDirLocalIndex
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.11.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: The locally arbitrary but unique identifier associated with this protocolDir entry.
The value for each supported protocol must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's network management system to the next re-initialization, except that if a protocol is deleted and re-created, it must be re-created with a new value that has not been used since the last re-initialization.
The specific value is meaningful only within a given SNMP entity. A protocolDirLocalIndex must not be re-used until the next agent restart in the event that the protocol directory entry is deleted.
What is protocolDirLocalIndex?
This is a unique identifier number assigned to each protocol entry in the monitoring probe. It helps distinguish different protocols from each other in local tables. As long as the device doesn't reboot, the same protocol always gets the same index number.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.11.2.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::protocolDirLocalIndex
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.11.2.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::protocolDirLocalIndex.1
