pfTimeoutAdaptiveStart

Module: OPENBSD-PF-MIB

OID (symbolic): OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfTimeoutAdaptiveStart

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.7.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: When the number of state entries exceeds this value, adaptive scaling begins.

What is pfTimeoutAdaptiveStart?

The state-table entry count at which pf begins scaling down all timeout values proportionally, to reclaim memory faster as the table fills up. Admins tune this together with pfLimitStates so the firewall degrades gracefully instead of hitting a hard wall under load.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.7.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfTimeoutAdaptiveStart

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.7.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfTimeoutAdaptiveStart.1
