ibm3172ifInLANDiscards

Module: IBM3172-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM3172-MIB::ibm3172ifInLANDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.1.4.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of inbound frames received from the LAN that were discarded by the 3172, even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a frame could be because of insufficient buffer space. This variable, when combined with ibm3172ifInBlkDiscards, reflects the total number of inbound frames not forwarded from the LAN when no error was detected.

What is ibm3172ifInLANDiscards?

A running count of inbound LAN frames the 3172 discarded even though they had no detected errors, often due to insufficient buffer space; combined with ibm3172ifInBlkDiscards it gives the total inbound frames dropped without error. An admin monitors this to catch buffering/congestion issues on the LAN side.
