bcmFramesReturned

Module: IBM-BCM-MIB

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.118.1.2.1.3.2.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Total number of frames, for all protocols, not managed by BCM and returned to BUS for transmission.

What is bcmFramesReturned?

Counts frames for all protocols (IP, IPX, and NetBIOS combined) that the BCM chose not to manage itself and instead handed back to the BUS for direct transmission; a growing count suggests much of this traffic is bypassing broadcast-management logic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.118.1.2.1.3.2.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-BCM-MIB::bcmFramesReturned

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.118.1.2.1.3.2.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-BCM-MIB::bcmFramesReturned.1

Start monitoring IBM ATM LAN Emulation switch/router (e.g. 8285/2216-class, Broadcast Manager) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the IBM-BCM-MIB::bcmFramesReturned OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any IBM ATM LAN Emulation switch/router (e.g. 8285/2216-class, Broadcast Manager) from a single console.
