What is unixRouteWildcardUses?

Counts how many times traffic was forwarded using the default (wildcard) routing entry rather than a specific destination route. A high count indicates heavy reliance on the default gateway.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.5.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::unixRouteWildcardUses

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.5.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::unixRouteWildcardUses.1

Start monitoring BSD Unix hosts (legacy ISODE SNMP agent) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the BSDUNIX-MIB::unixRouteWildcardUses OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BSD Unix hosts (legacy ISODE SNMP agent) from a single console.
