cienaCesOamVariableResponseRx

Module: CIENA-CES-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): CIENA-CES-OAM-MIB::cienaCesOamVariableResponseRx

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.5.1.1.1.1.10

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of Variable Response OAMPDUs received on this interface.

An Variable Response OAMPDU is indicated by a valid frame with (1) destination MAC address equal to that of the reserved MAC address for Slow Protocols (See 43B of [802.3ah]), (2) a lengthOrType field equal to the reserved type for Slow Protocols, (3) a Slow Protocols subtype equal to that of the subtype reserved for OAM, and (4) an OAMPDU code equal to the OAM Variable Response code.

Discontinuities of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of the ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is cienaCesOamVariableResponseRx?

This Counter32 (frames) counts Variable Response OAMPDUs received on this interface, per its description, which are the peer's answers to this device's own variable requests. This counter should rise in step with cienaCesOamVariableRequestTx; if requests are being sent but responses aren't arriving, it points to a peer that either doesn't support variable retrieval or is failing to respond. An engineer building OAM-based remote monitoring would use a stalled value here, despite a rising request-Tx counter, as the specific symptom that the far end isn't answering its variable queries.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.5.1.1.1.1.10
