ip6InDiscards

Module: ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB

OID (symbolic): ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB::ip6InDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1872.2.5.3.2.10.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.

What is ip6InDiscards?

Counts IPv6 input datagrams that were discarded despite having no errors, typically due to resource constraints such as lack of buffer space. An increasing count may indicate traffic congestion or memory pressure on the device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1872.2.5.3.2.10.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB::ip6InDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1872.2.5.3.2.10.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ALTEON-CHEETAH-NETWORK-MIB::ip6InDiscards.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ip6InDiscards.1
