rxFlowCtrlCollCounter
Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB
OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::rxFlowCtrlCollCounter
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.2.1.47
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: This counter counts the number of Flow Control collisions, which are generated due to flow control. Flow control are used when most of the pool memory are used to limit further amount of RX data until memory available.
What is rxFlowCtrlCollCounter?
Counts collisions the switch deliberately generates as a flow-control mechanism, jamming the shared segment to make senders back off once most of the switch's packet-buffer pool memory is in use. A rising count is a sign the switch itself is running low on buffer memory, not a wiring problem.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.2.1.47 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::rxFlowCtrlCollCounter
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.2.1.47.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::rxFlowCtrlCollCounter.1
