physicalMediaObjectType

Module: SML-MIB

OID (symbolic): SML-MIB::physicalMediaObjectType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.7.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: In the 2.7 CIM Schema a Type property is no longer associated with physicalMedia. The MediaType property provides more detailed information.

What is physicalMediaObjectType?

This read-only INTEGER classifies a physical media item as tape(0) or other(1); per the MIB's own note, the more detailed physicalMedia-MediaType property supersedes this coarse classification. An admin should look to physicalMedia-MediaType for the actual media format and use this field only as a broad tape-vs-other check.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.7.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SML-MIB::physicalMediaObjectType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.7.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SML-MIB::physicalMediaObjectType.1
