Module: CASCADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::nodeFrameMemoryUtil

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.60

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge

Access: read-only

Description: The percentage of frame memory utilization on this intelligent card.

What is nodeFrameMemoryUtil?

This reports the percentage utilization of frame memory, buffer memory dedicated to holding in-transit frames, on this intelligent card, distinct from the general system memory tracked in nodeMemoryUtil. A nodeFrameMemoryUtil that spikes toward 100 percent during traffic bursts, even while general system memory looks fine, points to buffer exhaustion as the likely cause of any frame drops seen at the same time.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.60
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeFrameMemoryUtil

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.60.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeFrameMemoryUtil.1

SNMPv3 example:

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