What is etherHistoryMulticastPkts?
This read-only counter reports the number of good Ethernet packets received during a sampling interval that were addressed to a multicast destination (but not broadcast). Operators use this metric to understand multicast traffic patterns and detect unexpected multicast flooding that could waste bandwidth. It excludes broadcast frames, allowing separate analysis of broadcast versus multicast behavior.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.2.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::etherHistoryMulticastPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
