ifTStackHigherLayer

Module: TIGER

OID (symbolic): TIGER::ifTStackHigherLayer

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1978.2.1.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The value of ifIndex corresponding to the higher sub-layer of the relationship, i.e., the sub-layer which runs on 'top' of the sub-layer identified by the corresponding instance of ifTStackLowerLayer. If there is no higher sub-layer (below the internetwork layer), then this object has the value 0.

What is ifTStackHigherLayer?

This value is the ifIndex of the sub-layer that runs on top of the sub-layer named in the same row's ifTStackLowerLayer, describing one link in the interface's protocol stack. A value of 0 means there is no higher sub-layer, i.e. this is the topmost layer below the internetwork layer. Admins read this table to understand how a device's interfaces are layered, for example a PPP interface running over a physical serial port.
