t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops

Module: T11-FC-SP-SA-MIB

OID (symbolic): T11-FC-SP-SA-MIB::t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.179.1.1.1.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of output frames that were dropped, instead of being transmitted on this interface, because they matched an active (at that time) Traffic Selector with an action of 'Drop'.

This counter has no discontinuities other than those that all Counter64's have when sysUpTime=0.

What is t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops?

Counts outbound frames on this interface that were dropped instead of transmitted because they matched an active Traffic Selector configured with the 'Drop' action. A steadily climbing counter suggests a drop policy is filtering more egress traffic than expected.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.179.1.1.1.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> T11-FC-SP-SA-MIB::t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.179.1.1.1.1.12.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the T11-FC-SP-SA-MIB::t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (INCITS T11 FC-SP), Fibre Channel switches/directors (security-association/cryptographic capability status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing T11-FC-SP-SA-MIB 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 t11FcSpSaIfOutDrops into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of output frames that were dropped, instead of being transmitted on this interface, because they matched an active (at that time) Traffic Selector with an action of 'Drop'. 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 Counter64-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.
