pktStatsAllocs

Module: BLADETYPE2-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): BLADETYPE2-SWITCH-MIB::pktStatsAllocs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Total number of packet allocations from the packet buffer pool by the TCP/IP protocol stack.

What is pktStatsAllocs?

Reports the total number of packet buffer allocations made by the TCP/IP protocol stack since the switch was last reset. This counter helps assess overall packet processing activity and buffer pool demand.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BLADETYPE2-SWITCH-MIB::pktStatsAllocs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BLADETYPE2-SWITCH-MIB::pktStatsAllocs.1

Start monitoring HP BladeSystem Type 2 embedded network switch modules with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the BLADETYPE2-SWITCH-MIB::pktStatsAllocs OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any HP BladeSystem Type 2 embedded network switch modules from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an HP BladeSystem Type 2 embedded network switch module 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 pktStatsAllocs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of packet allocations from the packet buffer pool by the TCP/IP protocol stack. 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 Counter32-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, 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.
