This counter tallies frames dropped due to invalid source MACs or loop detection (source belongs to this bridge). Engineers monitor it to diagnose network loops and misconfigured source addresses. Rising counts indicate bridging loops or corrupted MAC tables.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveOtherDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortReceiveOtherDiscards.1
