What is icmpMsgStatsOutPkts?
This OID counts the number of ICMP outgoing packets (protocol used for ping and error messages) sent by the device. Network operators monitor this to see how much control traffic the device is generating. An unusually high count might indicate the device is sending excessive errors or responding to network scans.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.30.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::icmpMsgStatsOutPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.30.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::icmpMsgStatsOutPkts.1
