captureBufferPacketStatus
Module: RMON-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON-MIB::captureBufferPacketStatus
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.2.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: A value which indicates the error status of this packet.
The value of this object is defined in the same way as filterPktStatus. The value is a sum. This sum initially takes the value zero. Then, for each error, E, that has been discovered in this packet, 2 raised to a value representing E is added to the sum.
The errors defined for a packet captured off of an Ethernet interface are as follows:
bit # Error 0 Packet is longer than 1518 octets
1 Packet is shorter than 64 octets 2 Packet experienced a CRC or Alignment error 3 First packet in this capture buffer after it was detected that some packets were not processed correctly. 4 Packet's order in buffer is only approximate (May only be set for packets sent from the probe)
For example, an Ethernet fragment would have a value of 6 (2^1 + 2^2).
As this MIB is expanded to new media types, this object will have other media-specific errors defined.
What is captureBufferPacketStatus?
A bit-encoded error status for this captured packet, using the same encoding scheme as filterPktStatus (a sum of powers of two for conditions like oversize, undersize, or CRC/alignment error on Ethernet) — lets an admin tell which captured packets were actually malformed.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.2.1.7 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::captureBufferPacketStatus
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8.2.1.7.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::captureBufferPacketStatus.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> captureBufferPacketStatus.1
