Module: CISCO-EIGRP-MIB

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.449.1.2.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number Hello packets that have been sent to all EIGRP neighbors formed on all interfaces whose IP addresses fall under networks configured for the EIGRP AS.
What is cEigrpHellosSent?
This counter tracks the total number of EIGRP Hello packets sent to all neighbors across all EIGRP-enabled interfaces in this autonomous system. Hello packets are what keep neighbor adjacencies alive, so a healthy, steadily incrementing rate here, roughly matching the configured hello interval times the neighbor count, confirms the router is actively maintaining its side of every adjacency, while a stalled counter would point to a process-level problem rather than a network issue. With a default 5-second hello interval and 4 neighbors, an admin would expect this counter to increase by roughly 48 per minute; a rate far below that would suggest EIGRP hello generation itself is stalled, not just one neighbor's link.
