bufferControlCaptureSliceSize

Module: RFC1271-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlCaptureSliceSize

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The maximum number of octets of each packet that will be saved in this capture buffer. For example, if a 1500 octet packet is received by the probe and this object is set to 500, then only 500 octets of the packet will be stored in the associated capture buffer. If this variable is set to 0, the capture buffer will save as many octets as is possible.

This object may not be modified if the associated bufferControlStatus object is equal to valid(1).

What is bufferControlCaptureSliceSize?

Maximum number of octets of each matched packet that will actually be stored in this capture buffer (default 100); e.g. a 1500-octet packet is truncated to this many bytes, or set to 0 to capture as much of each packet as possible.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlCaptureSliceSize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::bufferControlCaptureSliceSize.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.1.1.5.1 i <value>
