What is cnt2IfOutNUcastPkts?

This Counter32 counts non-unicast, meaning broadcast or multicast, packets that higher-layer protocols requested be transmitted, including any that were discarded or never sent. An administrator monitors for unexpectedly high values here as a sign this interface is being asked to flood a segment with broadcast or multicast traffic. For example, a sudden spike in cnt2IfOutNUcastPkts from a given port suggests it is forwarding a burst of broadcast traffic outward.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.1.2.2.1.19
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CNT21-MIB::cnt2IfOutNUcastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.1.2.2.1.19.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CNT21-MIB::cnt2IfOutNUcastPkts.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cnt2IfOutNUcastPkts.1
