ipMcastRouteTtlDropOctets

Module: IPMCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteTtlDropOctets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.20

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of octets contained in IP datagrams that this router has received from these sources and addressed to this multicast group address, which were dropped because the TTL (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) was decremented to zero, or to a value less than ipMcastInterfaceTtl for all next hops.

Discontinuities in this monotonically increasing value occur at re-initialization of the management system. Discontinuities can also occur as a result of routes being removed and replaced, which can be detected by observing the value of ipMcastRouteTimeStamp.

What is ipMcastRouteTtlDropOctets?

A running total of octets this router dropped for this source/group because the packet's TTL or Hop Limit fell to zero or below the interface's configured TTL threshold -- a rising count suggests ipMcastInterfaceTtl may be set too aggressively.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.20
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteTtlDropOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.20.1
