channelDroppedFrames
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::channelDroppedFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.7.3.1.1
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 channelDroppedFrames?
This object holds a running count of frames received by the probe but intentionally not counted for this specific channel due to resource constraints. Engineers monitor this to understand probe performance bottlenecks and whether channel-level traffic accounting is complete or suffering data loss. A rising counter suggests the probe cannot keep up with traffic volume on this channel.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.7.3.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::channelDroppedFrames
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.7.3.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::channelDroppedFrames.1
