ipsecIfIkeInitiate
Module: XEDIA-IPSEC-MIB
OID (symbolic): XEDIA-IPSEC-MIB::ipsecIfIkeInitiate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.14.1.3.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Specifies when IKE will initiate dynamic, site to site tunnel establishment with the remote gateway. If 'automatic(1)', the gateway attempts to negotiate tunnels as soon as they are configured and enabled. If 'outboundTraffic(2)', the gateway attempts to negotiate tunnels only when traffic is routed out the tunnel. If 'disabled(3)', the gateway never initiates tunnel establishment.
In all cases, the gateway will participate in tunnel negotiation when initiated by the remote gateway.
Note that this object is 'disabled(3)' for dialin group and client tunnels since clients always initiate.
What is ipsecIfIkeInitiate?
This OID controls when IKE initiates dynamic site-to-site tunnel establishment on this interface: disabled (never initiates), automatic (negotiates as soon as tunnels are configured and enabled, the default), or outboundTraffic (only negotiates when traffic is actually routed toward the tunnel). An engineer sets this to outboundTraffic on interfaces where they want tunnels to come up on demand rather than immediately at configuration time.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.14.1.3.1.17 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XEDIA-IPSEC-MIB::ipsecIfIkeInitiate
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.14.1.3.1.17.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> XEDIA-IPSEC-MIB::ipsecIfIkeInitiate.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.14.1.3.1.17.1 i <value>
