cefPrefixExternalNRHCBytes

Module: CISCO-CEF-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-CEF-MIB::cefPrefixExternalNRHCBytes

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.492.1.1.2.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: If CEF accounting is set to enable nonRecursive accounting (value of cefCfgAccountingMap object in the cefCfgEntry is set to enable 'nonRecursive' accounting), then this object represents the number of non-recursive bytes in the external bucket switched using this prefix.

This object is a 64-bit version of cefPrefixExternalNRBytes.

What is cefPrefixExternalNRHCBytes?

This is the 64-bit version of cefPrefixExternalNRBytes, needed to avoid wraparound on the external-bucket byte counter for prefixes carrying substantial recursively-resolved traffic. Given the same wraparound math as the other HC byte counters in this table, this object is what an admin should actually poll for accurate external-bucket byte accounting on any but the lowest-traffic prefixes. A prefix whose recursively-resolved traffic runs into the gigabytes per interval would require this 64-bit counter to avoid the accounting errors a wrapped 32-bit value would introduce.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.492.1.1.2.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-CEF-MIB::cefPrefixExternalNRHCBytes

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.492.1.1.2.1.16.1
