What is pktsTx?

Counts packets transmitted on this network adapter since the ESX network module was loaded, sampled over time to derive a transmit packet rate; the SMIv2 version of this MIB exposes a 64-bit counter for higher-throughput links.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.4.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::pktsTx

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.4.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::pktsTx.1
