What is atmInterfaceConfVpcs?

This read-only object reports the total number of virtual path connections (VPCs) currently in use on an ATM interface, including permanent, soft, and switched VPCs. The count includes both configured PVPCs and dynamically established SVPCs, giving operators visibility into current connection capacity utilization. This helps identify when an ATM interface is approaching its connection limit (typically 256 on UNI interfaces).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.37.1.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ATM-MIB::atmInterfaceConfVpcs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.37.1.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ATM-MIB::atmInterfaceConfVpcs.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing ATM-MIB 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 locate atmInterfaceConfVpcs under the atmInterfaceConfEntry branch of ATM-MIB, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of virtual path connections (VPCs) currently in use on this ATM interface. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count approaches the interface's configured VPC capacity (e.g. above 90% of the maximum), to catch exhaustion before new VPCs can no longer be established. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
