flowFloodMark
Module: FLOW-METER-MIB
OID (symbolic): FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMark
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-write
Description: A value expressed as a percentage, interpreted by the meter as an indication of how full the flow table should be before it should take some action to avoid running out of resources to handle new flows, as discussed in section 4.6 (Handling Increasing Traffic Levels) of the RTFM Architecture RFC [RTFM-ARC].
Values of 0% or 100% disable the checking represented by this variable.
What is flowFloodMark?
Sets, as a percentage, how full the meter's overall flow table can get before the meter takes flood-avoidance action; 0% or 100% disables the check, and the default is 95%. An admin lowers this to get earlier warning of an impending flow-table exhaustion, for example during a traffic surge or DoS event.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMark
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowFloodMark.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.5.1 i <value>
