portTopNUtilization

Module: CISCO-STACK-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNUtilization

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.20.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The utilization of the port in the system. The utilization is computed in the following methods:

Ethernet Utilization: (If Full Duplex, multiply by 2)

10 Mbps I/O-pkts * (9.6 + 6.4) + (0.8 * I/O-Bytes) Ethernet Util = ----------------------------------------- Interval * 10,000

where 9.6 is interframe gap of Ethernet 6.4 is preamble of Ethernet 10,000 is 10Mbps

100 Mbps I/O-pkts * (96 + 64) + (8 * I/O-Bytes) Ethernet Util = -------------------------------------- Interval * 1,000,000

1000 Mbps I/O-pkts * (96 + 64) + (8 * I/O-Bytes) Ethernet Util = -------------------------------------- Interval * 10,000,000

All other I/O-pkts * (9.6 + 6.4) + (0.8 * I/O-Bytes) Ethernet Util = ------------------------------------------ Interval * N * 1,000 (where N is N Mbps)

Token Ring Utilization: (Assuming that Octets is from AC byte through FCS)

4 Mbps Pkts * 32 + (8 * Octets) Token Ring Util = 100 * ------------------------ Interval * 4,000,000 where 32 is bits in SD, ED, FS and IFG

16 Mbps Pkts * 64 + (8 * Octets) Token Ring Util = 100 * ------------------------ Interval * 16,000,000 where 64 is bits in SD, ED, FS and IFG

FDDI Utilization:

I/O-Pkts * (64 + 8 + 32 + 16) + (8 * I/O-Bytes) FDDI Util = ---------------------------------------------- Interval * 100,000,000

where 64 is Preamble of FDDI, 8 is the Start Delimiter (SD) of FDDI, 32 is the CRC, and 16 is the End of Frame Sequence (EFS) of FDDI.

What is portTopNUtilization?

This read-only object reports the calculated bandwidth utilization of a port as measured for the top-N report, computed from input/output packet and byte counts based on the port's speed and duplex mode.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.20.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNUtilization

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.20.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNUtilization.1

Start monitoring Cisco Catalyst switch (legacy/mid-generation) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-STACK-MIB::portTopNUtilization OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco Catalyst switch (legacy/mid-generation) from a single console.
