What is cnt2XIfInOctets?

This Counter64 tracks the total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters, using a 64-bit width to avoid the wraparound a 32-bit counter would suffer on a high-speed link. An administrator relies on this wider counter to get accurate cumulative inbound traffic totals on a busy interface over long polling intervals. For example, on a fast interface cnt2XIfInOctets keeps counting correctly for weeks where the 32-bit cnt2IfInOctets on the base table would already have wrapped around.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.1.2.3.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CNT21-MIB::cnt2XIfInOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.1.2.3.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CNT21-MIB::cnt2XIfInOctets.1

Start monitoring CNT 2.1-series Fibre Channel SAN switch (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CNT21-MIB::cnt2XIfInOctets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any CNT 2.1-series Fibre Channel SAN switch (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a CNT 2.1-series Fibre Channel SAN switch (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 cnt2XIfInOctets 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 octets received on the interface, including framing characters. 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.
