What is extremeFdbMacFdbCounterValue?

A 64-bit counter of how many FDB or ARP changes (MAC/ARP entries learned, aged out, or removed) have occurred on a given port since the counter was last reset (at agent startup or when the port went down). An admin watches this counter for unusually rapid growth, which can indicate MAC flapping or an unstable/looped segment on that port.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.16.5.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> EXTREME-FDB-MIB::extremeFdbMacFdbCounterValue

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.16.5.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> EXTREME-FDB-MIB::extremeFdbMacFdbCounterValue.1

Start monitoring Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS-based switch (Layer 2 forwarding database/MAC table) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the EXTREME-FDB-MIB::extremeFdbMacFdbCounterValue OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS-based switch (Layer 2 forwarding database/MAC table) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS-based switch (Layer 2 forwarding database/MAC table) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type extremeFdbMacFdbCounterValue into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The count of the number of FDB changes for the given port since the counter was last reset. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
