accIpxPortHopCnts

Module: ACC-MIB

OID (symbolic): ACC-MIB::accIpxPortHopCnts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5.1.1.22.6.1.6

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description:

The number of packets received on this port whose hop count had reached the maximum value.

What is accIpxPortHopCnts?

This counter counts packets received on this port that exceeded the maximum IPX hop count limit (typically 16 hops) and were therefore discarded to prevent infinite loops. Engineers care about this metric because it indicates packets traveling paths that are too long or indirect through the network. For example, if this counter reaches 500 packets in a day, it suggests routing loops exist or the network has become very convoluted.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5.1.1.22.6.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ACC-MIB::accIpxPortHopCnts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5.1.1.22.6.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ACC-MIB::accIpxPortHopCnts.1

SNMPv3 example:

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