pmPortCountersRcvSwRelayErrors

Module: IB-PM-MIB

OID (symbolic): IB-PM-MIB::pmPortCountersRcvSwRelayErrors

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.1.4.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: Total number of packets received on the port that were discarded because they could be forwarded by the switch relay. Reasons for this include: - DLID mapping - VL mapping - Looping (output port = input port).

What is pmPortCountersRcvSwRelayErrors?

Counts packets received on this port that a switch discarded because they couldn't be relayed, due to DLID mapping failures, VL mapping failures, or a looping condition where the output port equals the input port. This is switch-specific and points to a forwarding-table or configuration problem rather than a physical-layer issue.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.1.4.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IB-PM-MIB::pmPortCountersRcvSwRelayErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.1.4.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IB-PM-MIB::pmPortCountersRcvSwRelayErrors.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.1.4.1.8.1 i <value>
