ipMcastBoundaryDroppedMcastOctets

Module: IPMCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastBoundaryDroppedMcastOctets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.7.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of octets of multicast packets that have been dropped as a result of this zone boundary configuration.

Discontinuities in this monotonically increasing value occur at re-initialization of the management system. Discontinuities can also occur as a result of boundary

configuration being removed and replaced, which can be detected by observing the value of ipMcastBoundaryTimeStamp.

What is ipMcastBoundaryDroppedMcastOctets?

A running total of octets dropped specifically because they hit this scope boundary configuration, helping confirm a configured multicast boundary is actually filtering traffic as intended.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.7.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastBoundaryDroppedMcastOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.7.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastBoundaryDroppedMcastOctets.1
