What is ntqPackets?
This read-only 64-bit counter tracks the total number of packets, incoming and outgoing combined, seen for the host identified by this row. Admins watch it to spot hosts generating unusually high packet volumes, which can indicate a chatty application, a misconfigured device, or malicious activity like a scan or flood. A host whose ntqPackets grows by millions in a short window compared to its peers would warrant a closer look at what traffic it's generating.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11256.1.3.1.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETASQ-HOSTS-MIB::ntqPackets
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11256.1.3.1.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETASQ-HOSTS-MIB::ntqPackets.1
