gsEBufferCongestionDrops

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferCongestionDrops

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The count of the number of frames dropped due to the destination (output) buffer being congested.

What is gsEBufferCongestionDrops?

Counts frames dropped specifically because the destination (output) port's buffer was congested, as distinct from drops on this buffer's own overflow/aging. It's a useful counter for tracing a drop back to a downstream bottleneck rather than a local one.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferCongestionDrops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferCongestionDrops.1
