tunnelIfHopLimit

Module: TUNNEL-MIB

OID (symbolic): TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfHopLimit

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The IPv4 TTL or IPv6 Hop Limit to use in the outer IP header. A value of 0 indicates that the value is copied from the payload's header.

What is tunnelIfHopLimit?

This read-write value sets the IPv4 TTL or IPv6 Hop Limit to place in the outer IP header of packets sent through this tunnel; a value of 0 means the value is instead copied from the encapsulated payload's own header. Admins tune it to control how far tunneled packets can travel before being discarded, similar to a normal TTL, or to preserve the inner packet's own hop limit by leaving it at 0. For example, setting this to 0 on a GRE tunnel lets the encapsulated packet's original TTL pass through into the outer header rather than the tunnel imposing its own fixed value.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfHopLimit

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TUNNEL-MIB::tunnelIfHopLimit.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.131.1.1.1.1.4.1 i <value>
