dellNetFpIfIngIPv4L3Discards

Module: DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpIfIngIPv4L3Discards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.13.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: IPv4 L3 Discards

What is dellNetFpIfIngIPv4L3Discards?

This read-only Counter64 reports the number of IPv4 packets discarded during Layer-3 (routing) lookup/processing on ingress, counted on this specific physical interface (this row is indexed by ifIndex/port, unlike the chassis-wide dellNetFpDrops* counters which aggregate the same reasons across the whole switch). This is a Broadcom-style switch-ASIC hardware drop counter: an admin troubleshooting unexplained packet loss walks this whole family of counters (Ingress*, Eg*, MMU*) looking for whichever one is actually incrementing, since that pinpoints the specific stage of the forwarding pipeline (STP state, ACL policy, buffer exhaustion, CRC error, TTL, etc.) where packets are being discarded, rather than just seeing generic interface drops.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.13.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpIfIngIPv4L3Discards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.13.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpIfIngIPv4L3Discards.1
