Module: A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortReceiveCongestionErrors

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: This counter is incremented when a station recognizes a frame addressed to its specific address, but has no available buffer space indicating that the station is congested.

What is a3ComSysTokenRingPortReceiveCongestionErrors?

This counter tracks frames addressed to the port that were discarded due to insufficient buffer space, indicating the port was unable to keep up with incoming traffic. Network engineers monitor this to detect performance bottlenecks and plan capacity upgrades or quality-of-service improvements. A count of 100 errors during peak hours suggests the port is overwhelmed and may need bandwidth reduction or traffic prioritization.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortReceiveCongestionErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortReceiveCongestionErrors.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> a3ComSysTokenRingPortReceiveCongestionErrors.1
