protocolDistStatsPkts
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::protocolDistStatsPkts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.12.2.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: ZeroBasedCounter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets of this protocol type received without errors. 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 protocolDistStatsPkts?
This counter tracks how many packets of this protocol type have been received without errors since monitoring started. It can reset to zero if the probe restarts, making it useful for measuring traffic during a specific time window. Comparing this across polling cycles shows whether a protocol's usage is growing or shrinking.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.12.2.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::protocolDistStatsPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.12.2.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::protocolDistStatsPkts.1
