addressMapControlDroppedFrames

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::addressMapControlDroppedFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.13.4.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of frames that were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but that the probe chose not to count for this entry for whatever reason. Most often, this event occurs when the probe is out of some resources and decides to shed load from this collection.

This count does not include packets that were not counted because they had MAC-layer errors.

Note that, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.

What is addressMapControlDroppedFrames?

This running count shows how many network frames arrived at the probe but were intentionally not recorded due to resource limits or probe overload. If this number grows quickly, it signals the probe is dropping data and missing address mappings. High drop counts mean your address statistics are incomplete.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.13.4.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::addressMapControlDroppedFrames

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.13.4.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::addressMapControlDroppedFrames.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> addressMapControlDroppedFrames.1
