ethPortFramesTooLong

Module: MODULES-MIB

OID (symbolic): MODULES-MIB::ethPortFramesTooLong

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.29

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: This counter is incremented by one for each frame received on this port whose OctetCount is greater than maxFrameSize (Ref: 4.4.2.1, IEEE 802.3 Std). The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 61 days. This object is a Repeater MIB counter.

What is ethPortFramesTooLong?

Counts frames received on this port that exceeded the maximum legal Ethernet frame size; because oversized frames are uncommon in a healthy network, this counter's very slow rollover (around 61 days) means any nonzero movement is worth investigating, often pointing to a misconfigured device or jumbo-frame mismatch.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.29
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::ethPortFramesTooLong

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.29.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::ethPortFramesTooLong.1
