Module: TUNNEL-MIB
OID (symbolic): TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfEncapsMethod
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: IANAtunnelType
Access: read-only
Description: The encapsulation method used by the tunnel.
What is tunnelIfEncapsMethod?
This object specifies the encapsulation protocol used by a tunnel interface, such as IPv4-in-IPv4, IPv6-in-IPv4, or GRE. Network operators use this to identify tunnel types and understand the overhead and compatibility implications of different encapsulation methods. This is critical when diagnosing tunnel-related connectivity or performance issues.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfEncapsMethod
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfEncapsMethod.1
