ethPortPartitions

Module: MODULES-MIB

OID (symbolic): MODULES-MIB::ethPortPartitions

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.20

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: This counter is incremented by one for each time the repeater has automatically partitioned this port. The conditions that cause port partitioning are specified in the partition state machine in Section 9 [IEEE 802.3 Std]. They are not differentiated here. Relevant for MPR and HIMIB modules. REFERENCE Reference IEEE 802.3 Rptr Mgt, 19.2.6.2, aAutoPartitions.

What is ethPortPartitions?

Counts how many times the repeater's automatic partition state machine has isolated this port due to excessive collisions or similar faults, on MPR and HIMIB modules; a steadily climbing value points an admin toward a flaky NIC, cable, or duplex mismatch repeatedly tripping the port's auto-partition protection.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.20
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::ethPortPartitions

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.3.1.1.20.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::ethPortPartitions.1
