What is portTopNBufferOverFlow?

Reports how many times a switch port's buffer has overflowed, used to identify ports experiencing congestion in a top-N ranking.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.20.2.1.10
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNBufferOverFlow

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.20.2.1.10.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNBufferOverFlow.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> portTopNBufferOverFlow.1
