Description: IBM AIX SNMP extension MIB providing host resource and operating system statistics for AIX systems.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is AIX1-MIB?

This MIB module is IBM's extension MIB for AIX systems, exposing host resource and operating-system-level statistics beyond what standard host/interface MIBs provide. Based on its structure it covers system-level and application/packet-level statistics for AIX hosts, including flow-control and buffer-related thresholds affecting network I/O. This MIB supports software/OS health monitoring: administrators can track buffer/flow-control threshold state (such as the global XOFF flow-control threshold) to detect network buffer exhaustion or throttling conditions on the AIX host, alongside broader system and application statistics. It is IBM's proprietary AIX enterprise MIB extension and is typically used alongside standard IETF Host Resources MIB and IF-MIB objects for a complete picture of an AIX server. It is typically deployed on IBM AIX Unix servers in enterprise data centers for OS-level performance and resource monitoring. Engineers can download the AIX1-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AIX1-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Applied Innovation Inc. AI Series 1 X.25 Smart Line Cards (WAN protocol-converter equipment; company acquired by Kentrox/KEG Holdings in 2007)

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check the aiX1System and aiX1Pkt branch objects alongside the global buffer-recovery/flow-control threshold referenced in the module description to see whether the AIX host's XOFF flow-control mechanism has been triggered. A non-zero threshold combined with degraded network throughput on the host would indicate the AIX kernel is throttling traffic due to buffer exhaustion.
