chasControlFreeBuffers
Module: CHASSIS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlFreeBuffers
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.14
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The current software does not pool a specific number of buffers. Therefore this object is obsolete.
What is chasControlFreeBuffers?
The description explicitly states this object is obsolete because the current software no longer pools a fixed number of buffers, so it no longer reflects any real free-buffer count. An admin should ignore or ideally hide this object from dashboards on modern firmware, since polling it wastes management overhead for a value the device itself no longer meaningfully tracks. A monitoring template built for an older firmware version that still graphs chasControlFreeBuffers would show a static or meaningless value on a chassis running current software.
Examples
