alaIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts

Module: ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of multicast packets that have been sent on the interface. In many cases, this object is identical to ifOutMulticastPkts 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 alaIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts?

Counts the total number of multicast packets sent out of this interface, equivalent to ifOutMulticastPkts in many implementations. Some platforms use this counter for Layer 2 multicast egress statistics rather than the standard Interfaces MIB counter.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB::alaIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.10.2.1.1.4.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ALCATEL-IND1-IPMCAST-MIB::alaIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts.1
