tokenRingPStatsDroppedFrames

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::tokenRingPStatsDroppedFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.6.1.1

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 tokenRingPStatsDroppedFrames?

This object holds a running count of Token Ring frames at the Path level the probe received but intentionally dropped to manage its processing load. Engineers monitor this to assess whether Token Ring path-level analytics are capturing complete traffic or suffering data loss during peaks. Rising values indicate the probe is overwhelmed and cannot fully analyze this token ring path.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.6.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::tokenRingPStatsDroppedFrames

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.6.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::tokenRingPStatsDroppedFrames.1
