dot3OamVariableRequestTx

Module: EFM-COMMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamVariableRequestTx

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.4.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of Variable Request OAMPDUs transmitted on this interface.

An Variable Request OAMPDU is indicated by a valid frame with (1) destination MAC address equal to that of the reserved MAC address for Slow Protocols (See 43B of [802.3ah]), (2) a lengthOrType field equal to the reserved type for Slow Protocols, (3) a Slow Protocols subtype equal to that of the subtype reserved for OAM, and (4) an OAMPDU code equals the OAM Variable Request code.

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?

A count of Variable Request OAM PDUs transmitted on this interface, sent when this device asks its OAM peer to report the value of a specific MIB variable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.4.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamVariableRequestTx

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.4.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamVariableRequestTx.1
