ipOutDiscards

Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipOutDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of output IPv4 datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.

This object has been deprecated, as a new IP version-neutral table has been added. It is loosely replaced by ipSystemStatsOutDiscards.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipOutDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipOutDiscards.1

SNMPv3 example:

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