switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards

Module: SWITCH-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): SWITCH-BRIDGE-MIB::switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.2.2.5.4.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been learned, but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding Database. If this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is regularly becoming full (a condition which has unpleasant performance effects on the subnetwork). If this counter has a significant value but is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem has been occurring but is not persistent.

What is switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards?

The total number of forwarding database entries that were or would have been learned but were discarded due to a full FDB; a steadily increasing value means the bridge's MAC table is chronically undersized for the traffic it's seeing.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.2.2.5.4.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-BRIDGE-MIB::switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.9.2.2.5.4.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-BRIDGE-MIB::switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards.1

Start monitoring vendor-specific managed Ethernet switch, multi-VLAN bridge instances (per-VLAN STP status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SWITCH-BRIDGE-MIB::switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-specific managed Ethernet switch, multi-VLAN bridge instances (per-VLAN STP status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a vendor-specific managed Ethernet switch, multi-VLAN bridge instance (per-VLAN STP status) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type switchBridgeTpLearnedEntryDiscards into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been learned, but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding Database. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
