alaIpMcastInterfaceInMcastPkts

Module: ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB::alaIpMcastInterfaceInMcastPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of multicast packets that have arrived on the interface. In many cases, this object is identical to ifInMulticastPkts in the Interfaces MIB.

However, some implementations use ifXTable for Layer 2 traffic statistics and alaIpMcastInterfaceTable at Layer 3. In this case a difference between these objects probably indicates that some Layer 3 multicast packets are being transmitted as unicast at Layer 2.

What is alaIpMcastInterfaceInMcastPkts?

Counts the total number of multicast packets received on this interface, equivalent to ifInMulticastPkts in many implementations. Some platforms may use this counter instead of the standard Interfaces MIB counter for Layer 2 multicast traffic accounting.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB::alaIpMcastInterfaceInMcastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB::alaIpMcastInterfaceInMcastPkts.1
