sifTxStormCnt

Module: CTATX-MIB

OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::sifTxStormCnt

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.7.2.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The maximum number of multicasts to transmit with a certain period of time (not applicable for UART ports).

What is sifTxStormCnt?

This read-write INTEGER sets the maximum number of multicast packets this port may transmit within a certain period, not applicable to UART ports, implementing multicast storm protection. An administrator lowers it on a port feeding a sensitive segment to cap outbound multicast volume from a potentially runaway source. For example, the admin lowers sifTxStormCnt on a port feeding a video-conferencing segment to cap how many multicast frames it forwards per interval, guarding against a runaway multicast source.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.7.2.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::sifTxStormCnt

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.7.2.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::sifTxStormCnt.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.7.2.1.9.1 i <value>
