cePfePerfCurrentUtilization

Module: CISCO-ENTITY-PFE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-ENTITY-PFE-MIB::cePfePerfCurrentUtilization

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.265.1.1.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: CurrentUtilization

Access: read-only

Description: This object provides the actual PFE percentage utilization. It is determined by the number of new work contexts + feedback contexts divided by total number of contexts that can be supported by the PFE pipeline.

What is cePfePerfCurrentUtilization?

Reports the current percentage utilization of the packet forwarding engine (PFE) pipeline, calculated as new plus feedback work contexts divided by the total contexts the pipeline can support. This is a read-only gauge for monitoring real-time PFE load.

Examples
