cseL2AddrLearnFailures

Module: CISCO-SWITCH-ENGINE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-SWITCH-ENGINE-MIB::cseL2AddrLearnFailures

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.1.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Number of MAC addresses failed to be learned because the L2 forwarding address table was full. If the value keeps increasing, the network topology should be reconfigured.

What is cseL2AddrLearnFailures?

This read-only counter tracks MAC address learning failures caused by a full Layer 2 forwarding address table; a steadily rising value suggests the network topology may need to be reconfigured.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-SWITCH-ENGINE-MIB::cseL2AddrLearnFailures

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-SWITCH-ENGINE-MIB::cseL2AddrLearnFailures.1
