What is dlswDirMacCacheMisses?

A running counter of how many times a lookup of a MAC address in the local directory cache failed to find an entry, forcing a broader resolution. An admin watching this rise relative to dlswDirMacCacheHits can infer the MAC cache isn't retaining the addresses actually being queried.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.46.1.4.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DLSW-MIB::dlswDirMacCacheMisses

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.46.1.4.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DLSW-MIB::dlswDirMacCacheMisses.1
