ipEncap

Module: SWITCH-CHASSIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): SWITCH-CHASSIS-MIB::ipEncap

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.1.1.3.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The type of IP datagram encapsulation that the device will use after a restart: Ethernet or IEEE802.2. The active type of IP datagram encapsulation can be determined by examining the appropriate instance of the ifType attribute of the MIB-II interfaces table entry for the device's Ethernet interface. If the value of that instance of ifType is ethernet-csmacd(6), then the active type of IP datagram encapsulation is Ethernet; if the value of that instance of ifType is iso88023-csmacd(7), then the active type of IP datagram encapsulation is IEEE802.2.

What is ipEncap?

Selects the IP datagram encapsulation (Ethernet or IEEE 802.2) the device will use after its next restart; this is a legacy, now-obsolete setting, with the active type visible via the MIB-II interfaces table's ifType.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.1.1.3.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-CHASSIS-MIB::ipEncap

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.1.1.3.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-CHASSIS-MIB::ipEncap.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.1.1.3.4.1 i <value>
