Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Yes, Windows does support 64-bit SNMP OIDs.

If you have problems retrieving 64-bit SNMP data such as "ifHCInOctets", check the following points:

1. SNMP Service Configuration: Make sure the SNMP service is running on the target Windows computer and is configured to allow SNMP requests from the management station.
2. Read Community Strings: Check that the SNMP read community string is set correctly and that the SNMP manager software is using the correct community string to access SNMP data.
3. Firewall Rules: Verify that any firewall between the SNMP manager and the target Windows computer is not blocking UDP port 161 used by SNMP.
4. OID Support: Not all devices support the OID, the ifHCInOctets OID is part of the IF-MIB for interfaces that handle large amounts of traffic, typically ports that run at Gigabit speeds or higher. If your device does not support this MIB, or the interface you are querying is not capable of running at such high speeds, you may not be able to retrieve data for this OID.

5.SNMP version: ifHCInOctets OID is used only in SNMP v2c and SNMPv3. If you are using SNMP v1, you cannot retrieve data for this OID.

I hope the information above is helpful.
