dot3OamVariableRequestTx
Module: DOT3-OAM-MIB
OID (symbolic): DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamVariableRequestTx
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.4.1.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: A count of the number of Variable Request 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 dot3OamVariableRequestTx?
This read-only counter counts Variable Request OAMPDUs sent, which are used to poll attribute values on the remote OAM peer (a feature only available if variableSupport is set in dot3OamFunctionsSupported). An admin sees this rise when local OAM software actively queries peer-side statistics via the OAM variable retrieval mechanism.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
