OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.5.7.3.12.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: This attributes counts the number of one second intervals during which one or more idle cells was received. The reception of idle cells is an abnormal condition which could be caused by the remote IMA using the Common Transmit Clock mode with ports whose clock sources are not synchronized. This attribute will always have a value of 0 if the protocol for the IMA group is proprietary.

What is mscLpDS3ImaLkIdleCellSec?

This counts one-second intervals during which one or more idle cells were received on this link — an abnormal condition that can result from the remote end using Common Transmit Clock mode with unsynchronized port clock sources; it's always 0 under the proprietary protocol. An admin seeing this rise checks the far end's clocking configuration, since it's a specific and diagnostic symptom of a CTC clock-synchronization problem.
