a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards

Module: A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The number of multicast/broadcast frames discarded by the bridge port identified by this entry because the corresponding value of a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimit was exceeded.

What is a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards?

This counter tallies multicast and broadcast frames actually dropped when the port's rate limit is exceeded. Engineers use it to size limits appropriately and measure packet loss due to flooding. High values indicate the limit is too aggressive or the network has legitimate high broadcast traffic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveMulticastLimitExceededDiscards.1
