forePlcpTotalFerrCount

Module: Fore-PLCP-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-PLCP-MIB::forePlcpTotalFerrCount

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.13.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of framing errors detected since the interface was reset. A framing error is determined by errors in the A1 and A2 bytes of the PLCP frame.

What is forePlcpTotalFerrCount?

This counter tracks the number of PLCP framing errors, detected via errors in the A1 and A2 framing bytes, since the interface was last reset. Admins use it as a lifetime indicator of how often the receiver has lost frame alignment on this PLCP-framed ATM link. A high forePlcpTotalFerrCount relative to the interface's uptime points to a chronic framing or timing problem worth investigating.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.13.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-PLCP-MIB::forePlcpTotalFerrCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.13.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-PLCP-MIB::forePlcpTotalFerrCount.1

Start monitoring FORE Systems ATM equipment (DS3/E3 PLCP-framed interfaces) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the Fore-PLCP-MIB::forePlcpTotalFerrCount OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any FORE Systems ATM equipment (DS3/E3 PLCP-framed interfaces) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an FORE Systems ATM equipment (DS3/E3 PLCP-framed interfaces) 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 forePlcpTotalFerrCount 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 number of framing errors detected since the interface was 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
