Module: UCD-IPFILTER-MIB
OID (symbolic): UCD-IPFILTER-MIB::ipfOutHits
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.2.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description: Hits of the outgoing IP Filter rule.
What is ipfOutHits?
This counter records how many times the corresponding outgoing IP filter rule has matched outbound packets. Administrators monitor this to confirm an egress rule is functioning as expected, such as verifying that a block rule intended to stop unwanted outbound traffic is actually catching packets. A steadily climbing ipfOutHits count on a rule blocking a specific destination confirms that traffic is being actively filtered rather than silently misconfigured.
