alHostOutPkts

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alHostOutPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.16.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: ZeroBasedCounter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets of this protocol type without errors transmitted by this address since it was added to the alHostTable. Note that this is the number of link-layer packets, so if a single network-layer packet is fragmented into several link-layer frames, this counter is incremented several times.

What is alHostOutPkts?

This object holds a running count of packets sent out from a host address without transmission errors. Network engineers track this to diagnose whether a host is successfully transmitting traffic and to measure overall output activity. If a host shows high outPkts but low throughput, it may indicate small packet sizes or network inefficiency.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.16.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::alHostOutPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.16.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::alHostOutPkts.1
