dellNetFpCurrentAvailBuffer

Module: DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpCurrentAvailBuffer

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.4.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Current available buffer.

What is dellNetFpCurrentAvailBuffer?

This read-only value reports how much of the switch forwarding ASIC's shared packet-buffer memory pool is currently free (unused), as opposed to the total size reported by dellNetFpTotalPacketBuffer. A value that regularly drops close to zero tells an admin the switch's buffer pool is running near capacity, which is a leading indicator of upcoming tail-drops under bursty traffic, well before per-port drop counters start climbing.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.4.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpCurrentAvailBuffer

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.4.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpCurrentAvailBuffer.1
