Object
column
OctetString
A unique identifier for a particular protocol. Standard
identifiers will be defined in such a manner that they
can often be used as specifications for new protocols - i.e.,
a tree-structured assignment mechanism that matches the
protocol encapsulation 'tree' and that has algorithmic
assignment mechanisms for certain subtrees. See RFC 2074 for
more details.
Despite the algorithmic mechanism, the probe will only place
entries in here for those protocols it chooses to collect. In
other words, it need not populate this table with all
possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
the fly when it sees them. Whether it does these
things is a matter of product definition (cost/benefit,
usability) and is up to the designer of the product.
If an entry is written to this table with a protocolDirID that
the agent doesn't understand, either directly or
algorithmically, the SET request will be rejected with an
inconsistentName or badValue (for SNMPv1) error.
