basTcpActiveOpens

Module: BAS-TCP-MIB

OID (symbolic): BAS-TCP-MIB::basTcpActiveOpens

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.7.3.1.1.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times TCP connections have made a direct transition to the SYN-SENT state from the CLOSED state.

What is basTcpActiveOpens?

Counts the number of TCP connections that were actively initiated by this device, i.e., transitions from CLOSED to SYN-SENT state. This reflects outbound connection attempts originating from this host.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.7.3.1.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BAS-TCP-MIB::basTcpActiveOpens

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.7.3.1.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BAS-TCP-MIB::basTcpActiveOpens.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-TCP-MIB::basTcpActiveOpens 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 basTcpActiveOpens 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 times TCP connections have made a direct transition to the SYN-SENT state from the CLOSED state. 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 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.
