hwBufferCurrentUsed

Module: HUAWEI-MEMORY-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-MEMORY-MIB::hwBufferCurrentUsed

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.5.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The object indicates the used number of the buffer currently.

What is hwBufferCurrentUsed?

This read-only value reports the current number of buffers in use within this buffer pool on the device. Admins monitor it against hwBufferCurrentTotal to detect buffer pool exhaustion, which can cause packet drops on devices that use buffer pools for switching or routing. For example, hwBufferCurrentUsed approaching hwBufferCurrentTotal would warn an admin that the device is close to running out of buffers for that pool.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.5.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MEMORY-MIB::hwBufferCurrentUsed

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.5.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MEMORY-MIB::hwBufferCurrentUsed.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> hwBufferCurrentUsed.1
