aristaPfcPriorityRequests

Module: ARISTA-PFC-MIB

OID (symbolic): ARISTA-PFC-MIB::aristaPfcPriorityRequests

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.11.1.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the invoked PFC M_CONTROL.request primitives with this priority class asserted.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is aristaPfcPriorityRequests?

Counts the number of Priority Flow Control (PFC) pause frame requests sent for a specific traffic priority class on an Arista interface, indicating how often the device has asked a peer to pause transmission. Discontinuities in this counter are tracked via ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.11.1.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ARISTA-PFC-MIB::aristaPfcPriorityRequests

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.11.1.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ARISTA-PFC-MIB::aristaPfcPriorityRequests.1

Start monitoring Arista Networks EOS switches with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ARISTA-PFC-MIB::aristaPfcPriorityRequests OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Arista Networks EOS switches from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Arista Networks EOS switch as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type aristaPfcPriorityRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports a count of the invoked PFC M_CONTROL.request primitives with this priority class asserted. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in Requests), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
