What is foreHdlcIfChecksumErrors?

This read-only counter tallies the number of packets the HDLC packet layer has discarded due to checksum (FCS) errors. An admin monitors this for signs of a noisy or degraded physical link, since a rising checksum error count points to bit errors corrupting frames in transit. For example, a climbing checksum error count on a leased line link would prompt the admin to investigate the physical circuit or cabling for a fault.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.20.2.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-HDLC-MIB::foreHdlcIfChecksumErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.20.2.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-HDLC-MIB::foreHdlcIfChecksumErrors.1
