Object

Description

(1)

Index

Integer that uniquely identifies a row in the bufferControlTable.

(2)

ChannelIndex

Identifies the channel that is the source of packets for this row.

(3)

FullStatus

Shows whether the buffer has room to accept new packets; if this takes on the value spaceAvailable(1), the buffer has room to accept more packets; if it is full(2), its meaning depends on the value of bufferControlFullAction.

(4)

FullAction

Controls action of the buffer when it reaches full status; if value is lockWhenFull(1) the buffer will not accept more packets; if value is wrapWhenFull(2), the buffer acts as a circular buffer, deleting old packets as new ones arrive.

(5)

CaptureSliceSize

Max number of octets that will be saved in this buffer; if set to 0, buffer will save as many as possible. Default - 100.

(6)

DownloadSliceSize

Maximum number of octets of each packet in this buffer that will be returned in a single SNMP retrieval of this packet.

(7)

DownloadOffset

Offset of the first octet in each packet in this buffer that will be returned in a single SNMP retrieval of that packet.

(8)

MaxOctetsRequested

Requested buffer size in octets; if set to -1, the buffer will save as many octets as is possible.

(9)

MaxOctetsGranted

Granted buffer size in octets.

(10)

CapturedPkts

Number of packets currently in this capture buffer.

(11)

TurnOnTime

Value of sysUpTime when this buffer first turned on.

(12)
