sysORDescr
Module: SNMPv2-MIB
OID (symbolic): SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: A textual description of the capabilities identified by the corresponding instance of sysORID.
What is sysORDescr?
This is a text string describing what the corresponding sysORID capability means in human terms. Network engineers read this description to understand what MIB or feature the device supports without needing to look up the OID number. For example, the description might be 'CISCO-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-MIB' to indicate the device supports redundancy reporting.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1
Example output:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1 = STRING: The SNMP Management Architecture MIB. SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.2 = STRING: The MIB for Message Processing and Dispatching. SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.3 = STRING: The management information definitions for the SNMP User-based Security Model. SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.4 = STRING: The MIB module for SNMPv2 entities SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.5 = STRING: View-based Access Control Model for SNMP. ...
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> sysORDescr.1
