IF-MIB::ifInDiscards on ASA 5520

lassebjoern — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 10:30:37 GMT

Hi,

My monitoring-platform is seeing a lot of ifInDiscards on a couple of interfaces on one of our ASAs ver 7.1(2), which I can verify with:

snmpwalk -v2c -c ******* [IP] 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.1 = Counter32: 0

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.2 = Counter32: 0

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.3 = Counter32: 0

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.5 = Counter32: 871023

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.7 = Counter32: 0

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.8 = Counter32: 3851342

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.9 = Counter32: 0

IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.113 = Counter32: 0

The two interfaces (index 5 and 😎 with inDiscards are subinterfaces on a dot1q-trunk, and the

input traffic-rate is about 3mbit/s (500pkt/sec) for each interface. The physical interface is running gigabit with no errors in either ASA or switch-counters.

The ifInDiscards is incrementing a about 5-10/sec

I can't seem to find any info on what ifInDiscards is in the ASA (I'm guessing some buffer-ish issue?)

I'm not really seeing any notiable performance issues with servers in these DMZ-zones, but i'd sure like to know what is causing the counters to increment anyway.

Anybody got a clue?

Thanks in advance

Just try to poll to .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392 i.e. Cisco Remote Access Monitor MIB.
