What is ibIfPortStatExcBufOverrunErrs?

This counter tracks how many times the port experienced buffer overrun errors in a sustained series of consecutive flow-control update periods. A nonzero count points to persistent buffer exhaustion on the receive side, suggesting the port can't keep up with incoming traffic rate even with flow control active. An admin seeing this counter increase would investigate whether the receiving device or downstream path is undersized for the offered load.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.2.1.1.1.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IB-IF-MIB::ibIfPortStatExcBufOverrunErrs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.2.1.1.1.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IB-IF-MIB::ibIfPortStatExcBufOverrunErrs.1

SNMPv3 example:

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