What is rlCpuCountersTxBC?

This read-only Counter32 tallies the number of broadcast packets sent to the device's CPU, though the description text labels them as received. An admin watches this counter to spot unusual broadcast traffic load reaching the CPU, which can indicate a broadcast storm or misconfigured network segment. For example, a sudden jump in this counter's value over a short polling interval could alert an admin to investigate excessive ARP or DHCP broadcast traffic hitting the switch's management CPU.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.124.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-CPU-COUNTERS-MIB::rlCpuCountersTxBC

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.124.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-CPU-COUNTERS-MIB::rlCpuCountersTxBC.1

Start monitoring Cisco Small Business switch/router with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCOSB-CPU-COUNTERS-MIB::rlCpuCountersTxBC OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco Small Business switch/router from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco Small Business switch/router 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 rlCpuCountersTxBC 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. It reports the number of received broadcast packets. 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.
