What is captureBufferPacketLength?

This read-only value indicates the actual length in octets of a captured packet stored in an RMON capture buffer, including FCS (frame check sequence) octets. It allows management applications to determine the exact wire length of sampled packets for analysis. Operators use this to verify capture accuracy and to identify packets that are malformed or of unexpected size.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.2.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::captureBufferPacketLength

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.2.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::captureBufferPacketLength.1
