hwIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts

Module: HUAWEI-IPMCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-IPMCAST-MIB::hwIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.149.1.1.1.3.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of multicast packets that have been sent on the interface. In many cases, this object is identical to ifOutMulticastPkts in the Interfaces MIB.

However, some implementations use ifXTable for Layer 2 traffic statistics and hwIpMcastInterfaceTable at Layer 3. In this case a difference between these objects probably indicates that some Layer 3 multicast packets are being transmitted as unicast at Layer 2.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of hwIpMcastInterfaceDiscontinuityTime.

What is hwIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts?

Counts multicast packets sent out this interface, normally matching ifOutMulticastPkts from IF-MIB. As with the inbound counter, a persistent gap between the two hints that some multicast traffic is leaving as unicast at Layer 2.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.149.1.1.1.3.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-IPMCAST-MIB::hwIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.149.1.1.1.3.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-IPMCAST-MIB::hwIpMcastInterfaceOutMcastPkts.1
