gsEBufferHighStaleDrops

Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB

OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferHighStaleDrops

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.13

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The count of the number of high priority frames dropped due to being in the high priority queue too long (the frame aged out).

What is gsEBufferHighStaleDrops?

Counts high-priority frames dropped because they sat in the queue past the age-timer limit (gsEBufferAgeTimer) rather than being overflow drops. A high count here points at a servicing problem (see gsEBufferPriorityServicing) rather than pure lack of buffer space.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferHighStaleDrops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.7.1.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEBufferHighStaleDrops.1
