sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards

Module: GBNDeviceSWAPI-MIB

OID (symbolic): GBNDeviceSWAPI-MIB::sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.2.2.4.1.4.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of frames discarded by this port due to an excessive size. It is incremented by both transparent and source route bridges.

What is sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards?

Counts oversized frames dropped on this port by the bridging function; rising values suggest an MTU/jumbo-frame mismatch between connected devices, especially if application timeouts correlate with the growth.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.2.2.4.1.4.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GBNDeviceSWAPI-MIB::sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.2.2.4.1.4.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GBNDeviceSWAPI-MIB::sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards.1

Start monitoring Ethernet switch driver/OEM switch silicon (100Mb/1000Mb queue scheduling) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the GBNDeviceSWAPI-MIB::sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Ethernet switch driver/OEM switch silicon (100Mb/1000Mb queue scheduling) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Ethernet switch running OEM switch silicon 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 sDot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscards 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 frames discarded by this port due to an excessive size. 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.
