What is txMCPkts256To511Octets?

Counts 256-to-511-byte multicast frames the switch has transmitted out this interface, one of a series of octet-range packet-size counters kept per MIA ASIC statistics. Admins use this size-distribution data, alongside the other byte-range counters, to profile whether outbound traffic on a port skews toward small frames (which can be packet-per-second-bound) or larger ones.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::txMCPkts256To511Octets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::txMCPkts256To511Octets.1
