cfmFlowDirection
Module: CISCO-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB::cfmFlowDirection
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.692.1.2.1.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: This object indicates the direction of the traffic flow where the flow monitor collects data:
'unknown' The SNMP entity does not know the direction of the traffic flow at the point the flow monitor collects data.
'ingress' The flow monitor collects data at the point where the traffic flow enters the devices
'egress' The flow monitor collects data at the point where the traffic flow leaves the device.
What is cfmFlowDirection?
This OID indicates whether traffic flow data is being collected as it enters (ingress) or leaves (egress) the device. It clarifies the direction of measurement for analyzing network performance. A network analyst uses this to confirm they're measuring the right traffic direction when investigating congestion or packet loss on a particular port.
