fethPortFrameTooLongs

Module: MODULES-MIB

OID (symbolic): MODULES-MIB::fethPortFrameTooLongs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.6.1.1.1.18

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). If fethPortFrameTooLongs is incremented then neither the fethPortAlignmentErrors nor the fethPortFCSErrors counter shall be incremented for the frame. REFERENCE Reference IEEE Draft Std 802.3u/D4 Rptr Mgt, 30.4.3.1.8, aFramesTooLong. Reference IETF 100Base-T Repeater MIB, rptr100MonitorPortFrameTooLongs.

What is fethPortFrameTooLongs?

Counts frames received on this port that exceeded the maximum legal frame size; the standard guarantees this counter and fethPortAlignmentErrors/fethPortFCSErrors are mutually exclusive per frame, so an admin seeing this counter climb knows it reflects oversized frames specifically, not garbled ones.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.6.1.1.1.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::fethPortFrameTooLongs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.12.6.1.1.1.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MODULES-MIB::fethPortFrameTooLongs.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> fethPortFrameTooLongs.1
