Description: The number of times this interface has transmitted a beacon frame.
What is a3ComSysTokenRingPortTransmitBeacons?
This counter tracks beacon frames sent by the port when a hard error occurs, used to isolate and recover token ring topology failures. Network engineers monitor beacon transmissions to understand ring recovery frequency and identify persistent topology or hardware problems. A count of 0 over a week is excellent; a count of 5 suggests occasional hard errors requiring diagnostic investigation.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.19 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortTransmitBeacons
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.13.2.1.19.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-TOKEN-RING-MIB::a3ComSysTokenRingPortTransmitBeacons.1
