What is a3ComSysBridgePortTransmitBlockedDiscards?

This counter tracks frames dropped at egress because the outgoing port is not in forwarding state (STP blocked). Engineers use it to validate STP is preventing loops and diagnose blocked paths impacting traffic delivery. Rising values after topology changes are expected.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortTransmitBlockedDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.10.3.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-BRIDGE-MIB::a3ComSysBridgePortTransmitBlockedDiscards.1
