What is ipIfStatsOutBcastPkts?

This counter tracks the total number of IP broadcast datagrams that have been transmitted by the network interface. A broadcast datagram is sent to all devices on a subnet rather than a specific destination. Operators monitor this counter to understand broadcast traffic levels and detect unusual patterns that may indicate network problems or misconfiguration.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.44
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutBcastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.44.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutBcastPkts.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ipIfStatsOutBcastPkts.1
