basSonetPathB3Err

Module: BAS-SONET-MIB

OID (symbolic): BAS-SONET-MIB::basSonetPathB3Err

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.20.1.1.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets received on this link with B3 bit errors. Bit Interleaved Parity 8 is calculated over all bits in the SPE of each frame.

What is basSonetPathB3Err?

Counts the number of packets received on this SONET path with B3 bit errors, where B3 is a Bit Interleaved Parity-8 value computed over the entire Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE). A rising count indicates physical layer signal degradation on the SONET path.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.20.1.1.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BAS-SONET-MIB::basSonetPathB3Err

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.20.1.1.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BAS-SONET-MIB::basSonetPathB3Err.1

Start monitoring Broadband Access Systems (BAS) CMTS (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the BAS-SONET-MIB::basSonetPathB3Err OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Broadband Access Systems (BAS) CMTS (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Broadband Access Systems (BAS) CMT (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 basSonetPathB3Err 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 number of packets received on this link with B3 bit errors. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
