dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields

Module: RFC1284-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1284-MIB::dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.15

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: A count of frames received on a particular interface for which the length field value exceeds the maximum allowed LLC data size.

The count represented by an instance of this object is not incremented in implementations that observe Ethernet encapsulation conventions (by which the IEEE 802.3 length field is interpreted as the Ethernet Type field).

What is dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields?

Counts received frames whose length field exceeds the maximum allowed LLC data size. On devices that treat the 802.3 length field as an Ethernet Type field (standard Ethernet II encapsulation) this counter never increments, so admins should expect it to stay at zero on typical modern Ethernet gear and only investigate if it's nonzero on genuine 802.3-framed links. For example, on a legacy pure-802.3 segment, a frame reporting a length larger than the LLC maximum would increment this counter.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1284-MIB::dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1284-MIB::dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields.1
