ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets
Module: IP-MIB
OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.1.1.36
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description:
The total number of octets received in IP multicast datagrams. Octets from datagrams counted in ipSystemStatsInMcastPkts MUST be counted here.
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 ipSystemStatsDiscontinuityTime.
What is ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets?
This counter tracks the total number of bytes received in IP multicast datagrams, providing visibility into multicast traffic volume on the system. Network operators monitor this value to analyze multicast consumption, detect unusual multicast patterns, or verify that multicast streams are being received as expected. This metric is essential for troubleshooting multicast-based applications like video streaming or collaborative tools.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.1.1.36 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.1.1.36.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-MIB::ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets.1
