etherPortStatsTxBadJamError

Module: PORT-MIB

OID (symbolic): PORT-MIB::etherPortStatsTxBadJamError

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.24

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: Number of bad frames (due to Jam Bit Error) transmitted.

What is etherPortStatsTxBadJamError?

This counts bad frames transmitted due to a Jam Bit Error, an internal signaling fault in the hardware's collision-jam generation logic. This is specific to legacy half-duplex Ethernet operation where jam signals are used to force collisions. An admin would only expect to see this counter move on ports actually running in half-duplex mode, and rising values suggest hardware trouble on that port's MAC.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.24
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::etherPortStatsTxBadJamError

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.3.3.1.24.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PORT-MIB::etherPortStatsTxBadJamError.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> etherPortStatsTxBadJamError.1
