Description: Appian Communications physical Ethernet port speed, duplex, and statistics 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 APPIAN-PPORT-ETHERNET-MIB?

APPIAN-PPORT-ETHERNET-MIB is an Appian Communications proprietary MIB reporting configuration and statistics for 802.3 Ethernet physical interfaces on Appian optical access chassis. Its data is keyed by node/slot/port and covers packet and octet counters for received and transmitted traffic, including broadcast packet counts. As a performance-monitoring MIB it lets an administrator track Ethernet port throughput and traffic mix (broadcast versus total) per slot/port on the chassis. It is deployed on Appian Communications optical access platforms carrying Ethernet access ports. Engineers can download the APPIAN-PPORT-ETHERNET-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in APPIAN-PPORT-ETHERNET-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator compares acEnetStatsPktsRx against acEnetStatsBcastPktsRx for a port to check whether an unusually high broadcast ratio is contributing to a reported performance complaint on that Ethernet access circuit.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using acEnetStatsPktsRx OID:

Select an Appian Communications OSAP SONET/optical access platform (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 acEnetStatsPktsRx 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 packets received on this interface expressed as a 64bit integer. 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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
acEnet	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3			Appian Communications Ethernet Access MIB which contains the configuration and statistics attributes for an 802.3 physical interface.

ACA acEnetCfgAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.4	AcAdminStatus	read-create	Appian Administrative Status attribute used to set the provisioning state as either activate(1), inactivate(2) or delete(3). Refer to the Appian-SMI.mib file for additional information. Setting acEnetCfgAdminStatus to inactivate(2) disables the ethernet port.
T/F acEnetCfgAutoNegotiate	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.19	TruthValue	read-create	Setting this attribute to True(1) will force this interface to use Auto Negotiation to determine interface speed and duplexity. When set in this mode, the values of acEnetCfgSpeed and acEnetCfgDuplexity will be ignored. The interface shall advertise the ability to run at 10M and 100M, and will advertise both half and full duplex capabilities. When this attribute is set to False(0), the interface will be configured according to the values in the acEnetCfgSpeed and acEnetCfgDuplexity attributes.
ACE acEnetCfgCurrentDuplexity	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.16	AcEnetDuplexity	read-only	The current operational duplexity mode for this Ethernet port as determined by the MAC PHY interface. If using Auto Negotiation, the current duplexity may be different than the configured duplexity.
ACE acEnetCfgCurrentSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.15	AcEnetSpeed	read-only	The current operational interface speed for this Ethernet port as determined by the MAC PHY interface. If using Auto Negotiation, the current speed may be different than the configured speed.
ACE acEnetCfgDuplexity	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.14	AcEnetDuplexity	read-create	The desired configured duplexity mode. By default set to full(1) but for interfacing to some older hubs, which do not perform link duplexity negotiation properly, manual configuration may be necessary.
acEnetCfgEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1		not-accessible	A row which contains the configuration parameters for an Ethernet Access port. These rows must be created by the EMS or CLI, and are not automatically instantiated by default.
NTF acEnetCfgErrorTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.0.5			A configuration request to the Ethernet configuration table for an interface has been detected as invalid or corrupt.
STR acEnetCfgInterfaceName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.17	DisplayString	read-create	The user configurable interface name which is an ASCII string up to 64 characters in length.
ACE acEnetCfgLinkState	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.18	AcEnetLinkState	read-only	The link state for this physical interface. Link state is determined by the Ethernet PHY logic and indicates whether or not the cable is properly connected and signal is present.
INT acEnetCfgMediaType	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.8	INTEGER	read-only	Attribute to determine if this module is a 10mb/100mb or 1gb interface.

INT acEnetCfgOpCode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.6	INTEGER	read-only	Provides a detailed status code which can be used to isolate a problem or state condition reported in acEnetCfgOpStatus.
ACO acEnetCfgOpStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.5	AcOpStatus	read-only	The current operational status for the Ethernet module controlling this port.
INT acEnetCfgPauseAdminMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.20	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to configure the default administrative PAUSE mode for this interface. This object represents the administratively-configured PAUSE mode for this interface. If auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, the value of this object determines the operational PAUSE mode of the interface whenever it is operating in full-duplex mode. In this case, a set to this object will force the interface into the specified mode. If auto-negotiation is implemented and enabled for the MAU attached to this interface, the PAUSE mode for this interface is determined by auto-negotiation, and the value of this object denotes the mode to which the interface will automatically revert if/when auto-negotiation is later disabled. Note that the value of this object is ignored when the interface is not operating in full-duplex mode. An attempt to set this object to 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)' will fail on interfaces that do not support operation at greater than 100 Mb/s.
INT acEnetCfgPauseOperMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.21	INTEGER	read-only	This object reflects the PAUSE mode currently in use on this interface, as determined by either (1) the result of the auto-negotiation function or (2) if auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, by the value of acPauseAdminMode. Interfaces operating at 100 Mb/s or less will never return 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)'. Interfaces operating in half-duplex mode will always return 'disabled(1)'. Interfaces on which auto-negotiation is enabled but not yet completed should return the value 'disabled(1)'.
PHY acEnetCfgPhysicalAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.9	PhysAddress	read-only	The physical address (MAC Address) assigned to this physical Ethernet port.

T/F acEnetCfgStatsReset	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.3.2.1.7	TruthValue	read-create	Setting this attribute to True(1) will force all statistics for this row to be cleared and set to zero (0) values. Used for debugging, clearing statistics can trouble with trending and long term statistics collection by AppianVista or 3rd party trending tools. Note: Reading this attribute will always return false().
