Description: Manages subscriber terminal unit (STU) registration and parameters on COM21 HCX cable systems.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is COM21-HCXSTU-MIB?

This is a COM21 vendor MIB for their HCX cable broadband platform, specifically managing Subscriber Terminal Units (STUs), the cable-modem-like customer premises endpoints registered against the headend/controller. The module description and sample objects were unavailable in the source data (the accompanying description text actually referenced a different, related COM21 ComPort Control MIB), so specific object names cannot be confirmed, but based on the MIB name and product family it would be expected to expose STU registration state, provisioning parameters, and per-subscriber-unit operational status. Typical monitoring value for this class of module includes registration/online status of each subscriber terminal and basic service parameters, serving as a proxy for subscriber-facing hardware/software health on the HCX access network. It would be deployed alongside other COM21 HCX MIBs (like the ComController/ComPort MIBs) that manage the headend side of the same cable plant. It was used by cable operators running COM21 HCX broadband access equipment. Engineers can download the COM21-HCXSTU-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COM21-HCXSTU-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • COM21 HCX cable broadband subscriber terminal unit / headend controller

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were available for this MIB in the source data, so a concrete polling scenario referencing real object names cannot be responsibly constructed; the module description on file was for a related but distinct COM21 MIB, not this one.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hcxStuIpCurrArpFiltStat OID:

Select a Com21 HCX subscriber terminal unit (cable modem CPE, 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 hcxStuIpCurrArpFiltStat 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. Contains the number of ARP packets from this ComPort dropped due to authentication filtering in the current 15 minute collection period. 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 Gauge32-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.
