What is etherHistoryOversizePkts?

This counter records the number of packets longer than 1518 octets received during an RMON sampling interval that were otherwise well-formed (excluding framing bits, including FCS). It identifies jumbo frames or oversized legitimate traffic on an Ethernet segment. Network operators use this metric to detect unusual frame size distributions that may indicate configuration errors or protocol anomalies.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.2.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::etherHistoryOversizePkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.2.1.11.1
