nodeOutPkts
Module: CASCADE-MIB
OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::nodeOutPkts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.25
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of packets requested to be transmitted out of the node, including those that were discarded or not sent.
What is nodeOutPkts?
This counts packets the switch attempted to transmit outbound, explicitly including those that were ultimately discarded or never sent, meaning it measures transmission attempts rather than successful delivery. Because nodeOutPkts includes failed sends, a growing gap between this total and successfully forwarded traffic points to an outbound congestion problem on the switch.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.25 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeOutPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.25.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeOutPkts.1
