gsEBufferAgeTimer
Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB
OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferAgeTimer
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Configures the timer used for aging frames in this buffer. If the timer expires for a frame, the frame is dropped and the event is counted in the stale drop counter. By default, the age timer is set to a 0.25 seconds (quarter of a second).
The actual time that a frame may be aged out may vary. When set to a quarter of a second (250ms), the actual time may vary between 160ms and 320ms. When set to a second (1000ms), the time may vary between 640ms and 1.28 seconds (1028ms).
What is gsEBufferAgeTimer?
Sets how long a frame can sit in this buffer before it's aged out and dropped (counted in the stale-drop counters), defaulting to a quarter-second; setting disable(1) turns off frame aging entirely. Admins might extend this to one-second(3) on a congested link where they'd rather tolerate slightly higher latency than drop frames prematurely.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.6 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferAgeTimer
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.6.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferAgeTimer.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.6.1 i <value>
