Description

InMsgs

This counter includes all those counted by icmpInErrors.

InErrors

Specifies the number of ICMP messages which the entity received but determined as having ICMP-specific errors (bad ICMP checksums, bad length, etc.).

InDestUnreachs

Specifies the number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages received by the interface.

InAdminProhibs

Specifies the number of ICMP destination unreachable/communication administratively prohibited messages received by the interface.

InTimeExcds

Specifies the number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages by the interface.

InParmProblems

Specifies the number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages received by the interface.

InPktTooBigs

Specifies the number of ICMP Packet Too Big messages received by the interface.

InEchos

Specifies the number of ICMP Echo (request) messages received by the interface.

InEchoReplies

Specifies the number of ICMP Echo Reply messages received by the interface.

InRouterSolicits

Specifies the number of ICMP Router Solicit messages received by the interface.

InRouterAdvertisements

Specifies the number of ICMP Router Advertisement messages received by the interface

InNeighborSolicits

Specifies the number of ICMP Neighbor Solicit messages received by the interface.

InNeighborAdvertisements

Specifies the number of ICMP Neighbor Advertisement messages received by the interface.

InRedirects

Specifies the number of ICMP Redirect messages received by the interface.

InGroupMembQueries

Specifies the number of ICMPv6 Group Membership Query messages received by the interface

InGroupMembResponses

Specifies the number of ICPv6 Group Membership Response messages received by the interface.

InGroupMembReductions

Specifies the number of ICMPv6 Group Membership Reduction messages received by the interface.

OutMsgs

Specifies the total number of ICMP messages which this interface attempted to send. Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpOutErrors.

OutErrors

Specifies the number of ICMP messages which this interface did not send due to problems discovered within ICMP such as a lack of buffers. This value should not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer such as the inability of IPv6 to route the resultant datagram. In some implementations there may be no types of error which contribute to this counter's value.

OutDestUnreachs

Specifies the number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages sent by the interface.

OutAdminProhibs

Specifies the number of ICMP destination unreachable/communication administratively prohibited messages sent.

OutTimeExcds

Specifies the number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent by the interface.

OutParmProblems

Specifies the number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages sent by the interface.

OutPktTooBigs

Specifies the number of ICMP Packet Too Big messages sent by the interface.

OutEchos

Specifies the number of ICMP Echo (request) messages sent by the interface.

OutEchoReplies

Specifies the number of ICMP Echo Reply messages sent by the interface.

OutRouterSolicits

Specifies the number of ICMP Router Solicitation messages sent by the interface.

OutRouterAdvertisements

Specifies the number of ICMP Router Advertisement messages sent by the interface.

OutNeighborSolicits

Specifies the number of ICMP Neighbor Solicitation messages sent by the interface.

OutNeighborAdvertisements

Specifies the number of ICMP Neighbor Advertisement messages sent by the interface.

OutRedirects

Specifies the number of Redirect messages sent. For a host, this object will always be zero, since hosts do not send redirects.

OutGroupMembQueries

Specifies the number of ICMPv6 Group Membership Query messages sent.

OutGroupMembResponses

Specifies the number of ICMPv6 Group Membership Response messages sent.

OutGroupMembReductions

Specifies the number of ICMPv6 Group Membership Reduction messages sent.
