ipMcastRouteTtlDropPackets

Module: IPMCAST-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteTtlDropPackets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.21

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets 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 ipMcastRouteTtlDropPackets?

A running total of packets dropped for this source/group due to TTL/Hop Limit exhaustion, the packet-count counterpart to ipMcastRouteTtlDropOctets.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.21
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPMCAST-MIB::ipMcastRouteTtlDropPackets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.168.1.5.1.21.1
