ifMauHCFalseCarriers

Module: MAU-MIB

OID (symbolic): MAU-MIB::ifMauHCFalseCarriers

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.26.2.1.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of false carrier events during IDLE in 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X links.

For all other MAU types, this counter will always indicate zero. This counter does not increment at the symbol rate.

This counter is a 64-bit version of ifMauFalseCarriers. Since the 32-bit version of this counter can roll over very quickly, management stations are advised to poll the 64-bit version instead, in order to avoid loss of information.

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 ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is ifMauHCFalseCarriers?

The 64-bit version of ifMauFalseCarriers, recommended for polling on busy 100/1000 Mbps links since the 32-bit counter can roll over too quickly to track accurately between polls.
