protocolDistEthertype
Module: RMONitor-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMONitor-MIB::protocolDistEthertype
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.45.2.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-only
Description: A protocol type identified by the 'ethertype' field found in DIX Ethernet, or in the SNAP protocol on IEEE 802 networks or the DSAP protocol on 802.5 networks.
What is protocolDistEthertype?
This object holds the two-byte protocol type identifier, taken from the Ethernet 'ethertype' field, the SNAP protocol on IEEE 802 networks, or the DSAP field on 802.5 networks, identifying which protocol this row's traffic counts belong to. Admins use it to see exactly which protocol, such as IP or ARP, corresponds to a given set of packet and octet counts. For example, an ethertype value of 0x0800 identifies the row as tracking IPv4 traffic on the monitored segment.
