Description: Anue Systems network test access point (TAP) monitoring and traffic visibility management.

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 ANUE-MIB?

ANUE-MIB is a vendor MIB from Anue Systems (later acquired by Ixia/Keysight) for its Network Tool Optimizer (NTO) product, a network test-access-point/packet-broker platform used to aggregate, filter, and distribute traffic from network TAPs to monitoring tools. It exposes filter configuration, connection history, both 32-bit and High-Capacity 64-bit statistics tables, extended interface information, and authentication-related objects and traps such as SNMP and client login failures. Its monitoring value covers both software/security status (authentication failure events, login failures with source IP and reason) and traffic-visibility performance counters used to verify the packet broker is correctly forwarding monitored traffic. As an SNMP-based MIB using standard SMIv2 conventions and referencing interface information, it likely complements the standard IF-MIB for interface identification. It's typically deployed on Anue/Ixia/Keysight Network Tool Optimizer packet brokers positioned to distribute TAP/SPAN traffic to security and performance monitoring tools, and administrators can download the ANUE-MIB file directly to load it into their SNMP management software.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ANUE-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

  • Anue Systems / Ixia / Keysight Network Tool Optimizer (NTO) packet brokers / network TAPs

Monitoring Examples

An admin monitors anueSnmpAuthnFailureTime, anueSnmpAuthnFailureUsername, and anueSnmpAuthnFailureSrcIp to detect repeated unauthorized SNMP access attempts against the NTO device, enabling anueSnmpAuthnFailureTrapEnable so these fire as traps. anueClientLoginFailureTime and anueClientLoginFailureReason similarly reveal failed management-login attempts and their cause, useful for security auditing of the packet broker itself. The broader anueNtoObjects/anueNtoSystem subtree referenced in the module description would expose the actual filter and HC/32-bit traffic statistics used to confirm monitored traffic is flowing as configured, though specific table names for those were not present in the provided sample.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SNMP authentication failure events
  • client login failure events
  • failed login source IP/username
  • login failure reason
  • traffic filter/connection statistics (32-bit and 64-bit)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using anueFilterCntModHCInOctets OID:

Select an Anue Systems (Ixia/Keysight) Network Tool Optimizer (NTO) packet broker 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 anueFilterCntModHCInOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by the filter since anueFilterCriteriaModTime. 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 Counter64-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.
