Description: The total number of ICMP messages which this entity attempted to send. Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpOutErrors.
This object has been deprecated, as a new IP version-neutral table has been added. It is loosely replaced by icmpStatsOutMsgs.
What is icmpOutMsgs?
This counter (deprecated) records the total number of ICMP messages that the system attempted to send, including all errors. The operator uses this to monitor outbound ICMP traffic and identify systems generating excessive control plane messages. This object has been superseded by version-neutral counters (icmpStatsOutMsgs), but it remains in older implementations for backward compatibility.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.14 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::icmpOutMsgs
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.14.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::icmpOutMsgs.1
