Module: UCD-SNMP-MIB
OID (symbolic): UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: The total amount of real/physical memory installed on this host.
What is memTotalReal?
This OID displays the total physical memory (RAM) installed in the device, measured in kilobytes. It provides a baseline for understanding the device's capacity and helps detect hardware changes. A system administrator would check this value after a memory upgrade or when diagnosing why an application is running slowly despite adequate free memory.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.1
