Module: CASCADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::pportInFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of frames received on the physical port.

What is pportInFrames?

This counts the total number of frames received on this physical port. Tracking this alongside pportInDiscards and pportInErrors for the same port lets you compute a real discard and error rate specific to this link rather than relying on raw octet counts alone. If pportInFrames grows by 50,000 in an interval while pportInErrors grows by only 2, this port's error rate is negligible; the reverse ratio would flag a problem.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::pportInFrames

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::pportInFrames.1

SNMPv3 example:

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