ahClientRxMulticastFrames

Module: AH-INTERFACE-MIB

OID (symbolic): AH-INTERFACE-MIB::ahClientRxMulticastFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.26928.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.20

Description: The number of multicast frames received from client to AP.

What is ahClientRxMulticastFrames?

This OID counts the number of multicast frames (sent to multiple recipients) received from a client toward the AP, expressed as a non-negative integer. Elevated multicast reception can indicate heavy use of group applications such as video streaming or conferencing, helping operators identify bandwidth-intensive client behaviors. A client engaged in active multicast-dependent services might accumulate 2,000-3,000 multicast frames per hour.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26928.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.20
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> AH-INTERFACE-MIB::ahClientRxMulticastFrames

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.26928.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.20.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> AH-INTERFACE-MIB::ahClientRxMulticastFrames.1

Start monitoring Aerohive (Extreme Networks) wireless access points/switches (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the AH-INTERFACE-MIB::ahClientRxMulticastFrames OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Aerohive (Extreme Networks) wireless access points/switches (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Aerohive (Extreme Networks) wireless access points/switch (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ahClientRxMulticastFrames into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of multicast frames received from client to AP. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
