cwredStatSwitchedPkts

Module: CISCO-WRED-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-WRED-MIB::cwredStatSwitchedPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.83.1.2.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets output by WRED.

What is cwredStatSwitchedPkts?

This read-only Counter32 object tallies the total number of packets that WRED has successfully forwarded (switched) out of the queue. An admin uses this as the baseline traffic-volume figure to compare against the various drop counters to calculate an overall drop rate for that queue. For example, dividing cwredStatRandomFilteredPkts and cwredStatMaxFilteredPkts by cwredStatSwitchedPkts would give the admin the percentage of traffic actually being discarded by WRED on that queue.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.83.1.2.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-WRED-MIB::cwredStatSwitchedPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.83.1.2.2.1.1.1

Start monitoring Cisco routers using IP fast/flow switching (WRED) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-WRED-MIB::cwredStatSwitchedPkts OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco routers using IP fast/flow switching (WRED) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco routers using IP fast/flow switching (WRED) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cwredStatSwitchedPkts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of packets output by WRED. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in packets), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
