txNiaUnderRunDrops

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.1.1.25

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The NIA TX buffer gets in underrun if the nimbus is overloaded. This should only happen if a configuration is made which loads the Nimbus with more than a load equal to 44 simplex 10Mbit net.

NOTE: This only counts for NIA100 interfaces.

What is txNiaUnderRunDrops?

Counts transmit-buffer underrun events on this port's NIA100 network-interface-adapter chip, which occur only when the switch's internal switching fabric (the 'Nimbus') is overloaded beyond roughly the equivalent of 44 simplex 10 Mbit connections. This counter is meaningful only on ports built with the NIA100 chipset, and a nonzero value indicates the switch's backplane is oversubscribed.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.1.1.25
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::txNiaUnderRunDrops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.4.1.1.25.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ETH-SWITCH-MIB::txNiaUnderRunDrops.1
