What does the snmp mib object vsxCountersDropCount (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.16.23.2.1.3) show ? is it the Dropped packet count or dropped connection count ?
The Mib definition says,
vsxCountersDropCount OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter64
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Virtual System's drops due to instance fully utilized"
::= { vsxCountersDropEntry 3 }
There is also another mib table object , fwFullyUtilizedDrops (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.25.26.0) . The Mib definition says,
fwFullyUtilizedDrops OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter64
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Total number of dropped packets due to instance being fully utilized"
::= { fwPolicyStat 26 }
Since the mib definition says , "total number of dropped packets" , I assume these are packet count and not connection drop count.
Can anyone help confirm if vsxCountersDropCount gives the "connection drop" count or the "packet drop count" ?
Also, if vsxCountersDropCount gives packet drop count , then this mib object gives same value as fwFullyUtilizedDrops ?
Thanks in advance.
