What do these numbers mean for EIGRP Univeral Device Poller?

I created a Universal device poller to monitor EIGRP and added the table to the Node Details page but I don't know what the output means for these columns:

cEIGRPPEERADDRTYPE cEIGRPPEERADDR - LABEL

1 65536.200.0

Can anyone translate?

Does anyone know what this means?

Looking at cEigrpPeerAddrType 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.2 it uses the Inet Address Type, which I believe translates to:

InetAddressType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS      current DESCRIPTION "A value that represents a type of Internet address.  
unknown(0)  An unknown address type.  This value MUST be used if the value of the corresponding InetAddress object is a zero-length string. It may also be used to indicate an IP address that is not in one of the formats defined below.  
ipv4(1)     An IPv4 address as defined by the InetAddressIPv4 textual convention.  
ipv6(2)     An IPv6 address as defined by the InetAddressIPv6 textual convention.  
ipv4z(3)    A non-global IPv4 address including a zone index as defined by the InetAddressIPv4z textual convention.  
ipv6z(4)    A non-global IPv6 address including a zone index as defined by the InetAddressIPv6z textual convention.  
dns(16)     A DNS domain name as defined by the InetAddressDNS textual convention. 

So the one relates to an IP v4 address.

However, cEigrpPeerAddr 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.3 should therefore be returning an IP v4 address.

Have you double checked that your OIDs are correct?
Try snmpwalk'ing the device for that OID or the entire table (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1) and see if you are getting similar results. 
If you look on your Orion server and locate the executable here:  C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SnmpWalk.exe, enter in the relevant details and OID and see what you get back.

Tell us how you get on.

Hi yaquaholic,

Thank you for the response. I was hoping the "1" meant EIGRP was up. The OIDs I used were:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.2

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.3

One of them do show IP addresses but my main concern is having a Universal Device Poller show that the EIGRP status is up or down. Would you happen to know what the OID is for that or how to accomplish this? I created a Universal Device Poller for BGP before and there is a table that displays one of the six states of BGP using a numeric value 1-6 where if the state is not a "6" then BGP is down. Is there anything like this for EIGRP?

Thank you in advance

Looking at the MIB for that table, there is one OID that might give you want you want:

cEigrpUpTime (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.6) - The elapsed time since the EIGRP adjacency was first established with the peer.

From what it looks like, (sorry nothing to test it upon) this will supply the number of seconds (??milliseconds??) since the peer was established, so I would imagine that you could use this, with the peer IP address to get how long each peer has been up - and also if they are down. I would test this in test/dev, then you can poll while making/breaking connections and see for yourself what the OIDs return in their various states of up/connecting/down/etc and work out what the counter counts in (milliseconds, seconds, minutes, etc). Sorry, I would test myself, if I could.

Oh, and remember that the peer address from 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.3.x, will match the Uptime from 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.4.1.1.6.x, if you get my drift.

Good luck,

Rich
