dot3OamLoopbackControlTx

Module: DOT3-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamLoopbackControlTx

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.4.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of Loopback Control OAMPDUs transmitted

on this interface.

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

What is dot3OamLoopbackControlTx?

This read-only counter tracks Loopback Control OAMPDUs sent on this interface, i.e. the frames used to request or terminate a remote loopback session. An admin would see this increment when they (or automation) issue a dot3OamLoopbackStatus loopback request against the peer.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.4.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamLoopbackControlTx

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.4.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamLoopbackControlTx.1
