ipIfStatsOutDiscards

Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.25

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams if any such datagrams met this (discretionary) discard criterion.

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 ipIfStatsOutDiscards?

The number of output IP datagrams on this specific interface that had no problem preventing transmission but were discarded anyway (e.g. for lack of buffer space); this can include datagrams that were also counted as forwarded.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.25
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.25.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutDiscards.1

SNMPv3 example:

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