Protocol endpoint tables

The protocolEndPoint and ipEndPoint tables can be used in SQL queries to identify the IP addresses that are implemented by the device interfaces.

protocolEndPoint
This table associates a device entity, usually an interface, with protocol-specific information associated with that device entity. The most common example of the contents of the protocolEndPoint table is a row of data that associates a device interface with the IP addressing data associated with that interface. The protocolEndPoint table refers to protocol-specific information, such as IP addressing data, using an entity ID.
ipEndPoint
This table contains the IP addressing data.

Protocols other than IP have their own protocol endpoint tables, for example:

  • atmEndPoint table for ATM
  • bgpEndPoint for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  • frameRelayEndPoint for Frame Relay
  • igmpEndPoint for Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP)
  • ipmRouteEndPoint for IP Multicast routes
  • mplsTeTunnelEndPoint for Traffic Engineering tunnels
  • OSPFEndPoint table for OSPF
  • pimEndPoint for Protocol Independent Multicast
  • portEndPoint for ports
  • vlanTrunkEndPoint table for VLAN trunks
  • vpwsEndPoint for Virtual Private Wire Services
