ifMauHCFalseCarriers

Module: DOT3-MAU-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-MAU-MIB::ifMauHCFalseCarriers

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.26.2.1.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of false carrier events during IDLE in 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X links.

For all other MAU types, this counter will always indicate zero. This counter does not increment at the symbol rate.

This counter is a 64 bit version of ifMauFalseCarriers. Since the 32 bit version of this counter can roll over very quickly, management stations are advised to poll the 64 bit version instead in order to avoid loss of information.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is ifMauHCFalseCarriers?

The 64-bit version of ifMauFalseCarriers, recommended for polling on gigabit and faster links where the 32-bit counter would wrap too quickly between polls to give an accurate false-carrier trend.
