Module: CTATX-MIB

OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::addrRxChars

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.5.47

What is addrRxChars?

This read-write Counter tracks the number of characters, or bytes, in packets received from a given address on a learning or forwarding port, and can be zeroed via a zero-stats addrOperation. An administrator uses it alongside addrRxPkts to compute average packet size and spot unusually large frames from a given host. For example, the admin compares addrRxChars against addrRxPkts for a host to estimate its average packet size, spotting unusually large frames coming from that device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.5.47
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::addrRxChars

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.5.47.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::addrRxChars.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.5.47.1 i <value>
