dsmonMatrixCtlDroppedFrames

Module: DSMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): DSMON-MIB::dsmonMatrixCtlDroppedFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.26.1.6.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of frames which were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but for which the probe chose not to count for the associated dsmonMatrixSD and dsmonMatrixDS entries for whatever reason. Most often, this event occurs when the probe is out of some resources and decides to shed load from this collection.

This count does not include packets that were not counted because they had MAC-layer errors.

Note that if the dsmonMatrix tables are inactive because no appropriate protocols are enabled in the protocol directory, this value SHOULD be 0.

Note that, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.

What is dsmonMatrixCtlDroppedFrames?

Counts frames the probe received but chose not to count toward this conversation-matrix collection, typically due to resource shortage.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.26.1.6.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DSMON-MIB::dsmonMatrixCtlDroppedFrames

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.26.1.6.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DSMON-MIB::dsmonMatrixCtlDroppedFrames.1
