Object and OID Access Description
statistics
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1
Not
accessible
A collection of statistics kept for a particular Ethernet interface.
Statistics are enabled on an Ethernet interface using the rmon
collection stats <stats-index> command.
etherStatsTable
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1
Not
accessible
A list of Ethernet statistics entries.
etherStatsEntry
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1
Not
accessible
A collection of statistics kept for a particular Ethernet interface.
etherStatsIndex
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.1
Read only The value of this object uniquely identifies this etherStats entry.
etherStatsDataSource
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.2
Read-write This object identifies the source of the data that this etherStats entry is
configured to analyze. This source can be any Ethernet interface on this
device. To identify a particular interface, this object will identify the
instance of the ifIndex object, defined in RFC 1213 and RFC 1573 [4,6],
for the desired interface.
etherStatsDropEvents
1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.3
Read only The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe
due to lack of resources.
NOTE: This number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped;
it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.
