What is dlswDirNBEntries?

This object counts the current total number of NetBIOS entries in the DLSW (Data Link Switching) directory table, which maintains a list of known network resources. Each entry represents a remote resource that can be reached through DLSw partners and is used for efficient bridging of SNA and legacy network traffic. Network administrators monitor this counter to track how many remote destinations are discoverable and available through DLSw connections.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.46.1.4.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DLSW-MIB::dlswDirNBEntries

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.46.1.4.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DLSW-MIB::dlswDirNBEntries.1
