hpPktBufMiss

Module: NETSWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): NETSWITCH-MIB::hpPktBufMiss

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.1.1.2.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times that the switch was unable to obtain a packet buffer. Failure to obtain a buffer indicates that buffers were busy. This parameter is directly related to hpPktBufMin. If hpPktBufMiss is greater than 0, hpPktBufMin must equal 0. Conversely, if hpPktBufMiss equals 0, then hpPktBufMin must be greater than 0.

What is hpPktBufMiss?

Count of times the switch couldn't obtain a packet buffer on this slot because all were busy; tied to hpPktBufMin the same way hpMsgBufMiss is tied to hpMsgBufMin — a sustained rise here signals packet buffer starvation, which can cause dropped traffic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.1.1.2.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NETSWITCH-MIB::hpPktBufMiss

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.1.1.2.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NETSWITCH-MIB::hpPktBufMiss.1
