What is numberOfPhysicalPackages?

This read-only INTEGER reports how many PhysicalPackages (enclosures hosting other components, such as a rack or adapter card, per the MIB's own examples) are present. An admin uses this count to confirm the expected number of packaging components are recognized before walking physicalPackageTable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.8.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SML-MIB::numberOfPhysicalPackages

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.8.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SML-MIB::numberOfPhysicalPackages.1
