a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors
Module: A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The number of Soft Errors the interface has detected. It directly corresponds to the number of Report Error MAC frames that this interface has transmitted. Soft Errors are those which are recoverable by the MAC layer protocols.
What is a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors?
This counter reflects the number of Report Error MAC frames sent by the port, representing recoverable errors corrected by MAC layer protocols. Network engineers monitor soft errors as early warning indicators of emerging network problems before they cause data loss or disconnections. A soft error count of 50 is acceptable; a rapid increase to 500 suggests developing physical or electrical issues.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.17 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.17.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> a3ComSysTokenRingPortSoftErrors.1
