ifInErrors
Module: IF-MIB
OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifInErrors
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character- oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
What is ifInErrors?
This object counts the total number of inbound packets that arrived with errors preventing them from being delivered to higher network protocols. It is a counter that increases over time and never resets (except at system restart). Network engineers use this metric to detect interface health issues and identify links experiencing corruption or transmission problems.
