totalRxTxPackets

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::totalRxTxPackets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This object is used for LED control to display traffic. Values in the string are all packets transmitted and received at each port. The number and order of values equals the ifIndex. Each entry is 4 bytes. The first 4 bytes of the string is the value of portLastChange.

What is totalRxTxPackets?

Packs a per-port total transmit-plus-receive packet count, used internally to drive traffic-activity LEDs, into a byte string ordered by ifIndex, 4 bytes per port, with the first 4 bytes holding the portLastChange timestamp instead of a port's data. It is a compact, LED-driver-oriented alternative to polling each port's counters individually.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::totalRxTxPackets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::totalRxTxPackets.1

Start monitoring Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ETH-SWITCH-MIB::totalRxTxPackets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) from a single console.
