Description: The number of IP broadcast datagrams transmitted.
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 ipIfStatsDiscontinuityTime.
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
