Maybe RFC1213 ipForwarding would work

          ipForwarding OBJECT-TYPE
              SYNTAX  INTEGER {
                          forwarding(1),    -- acting as a gateway
                          not-forwarding(2) -- NOT acting as a gateway
                      }

but I kind of doubt it. We just got some SUP32s in to replace CatOS SUP2s (pure L2 switches) & I haven't been able to figure out yet how to tell them
ipForwarding should work fine. it _should_ change behavior based on whether there are any L3 interfaces configured or not.

the challenge is how to use this moving forward on Cisco platforms that have dedicated out-of-band management interfaces (e.g. Nexus platforms), because technically speaking, they ALWAYS have at L3 interface configured (mgmt0 out-of-band) which is L3 by definition because it exists in its own 'management' VRF).

its one case where the MIB falls down & is showing its age.
in the case of Nexus, we're thinking about 'lying' in the ipForwarding answer to exclude 'management VRF' but even so . . .
