portErrorCounter

Module: NEXANS-BM-MIB

OID (symbolic): NEXANS-BM-MIB::portErrorCounter

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.266.20.3.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Errors are usually caused by a FDX/HDX mismatch between the switch port and the connected port. If the switch detects a incrementation of this counter, he will send a portErrorCountFailure trap. The counted errors are depending on the switch type. For BM-A, BM+ and Access Switches: - Received packets with bad CRC, - Received packets with bad alignment, - Late collisions (only valid if Link State is 10HDX or 100HDX). For old BM Switches: - Received packets with bad CRC

What is portErrorCounter?

Counts port-level errors such as bad-CRC or bad-alignment frames (plus late collisions on half-duplex links), most often caused by a duplex mismatch between the switch port and the connected device; an increment triggers a portErrorCountFailure trap.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.266.20.3.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NEXANS-BM-MIB::portErrorCounter

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.266.20.3.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NEXANS-BM-MIB::portErrorCounter.1
