etherStatsFragments

Module: RMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON-MIB::etherStatsFragments

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

Note that it is entirely normal for etherStatsFragments to increment. This is because it counts both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.

What is etherStatsFragments?

The count of received packets shorter than 64 octets that also had a bad FCS or alignment error; per the DESCRIPTION it's normal for this counter to increment since it includes both routine collision-caused runts and general noise hits, not just faults.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::etherStatsFragments

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON-MIB::etherStatsFragments.1
