flowDataFromOctets

Module: FLOW-METER-MIB

OID (symbolic): FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataFromOctets

What is flowDataFromOctets?

Counts the bytes that have flowed from the destination back toward the source for this specific flow. An admin compares this with flowDataToOctets to see whether a conversation is symmetric or heavily one-directional, such as a bulk download.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.2.1.1.29
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataFromOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.2.1.1.29.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowDataFromOctets.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> flowDataFromOctets.1
