Question

how would I represent an IP address as an OID? is there any subtree for generic IP addresses? I'd have expected something like { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) protocols ip v4(4) address 127 0 0 1 } (for 127.0.0.1; 1.3.6.1 is the internet OID, but everything after that is just my example) but can't find it in the public repos.

Was it helpful?

Solution

As there seems to be no such method until now, I reserved the OID node **1.3.6.1.4.1.43892.1863.791.0.<ip> for this use, <ip> being an IPv4 address in dotted decimal representation.

so the OID for "127.0.0.1" (the example in my original question) would be: 1.3.6.1.4.1.43892.1863.791.0.127.0.0.1
