Description: Provides proxy management objects for COM21 HCX subscriber terminal unit remote operations.

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-HCXSTUPRXY-MIB?

COM21-HCXSTUPRXY-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module from COM21, a cable broadband equipment maker, covering the "ComPort Proxy" function of the ComController head-end platform used with HCX subscriber terminal units (early cable modems/set-tops). It exposes objects related to proxy-managed access to subscriber terminal unit ports, letting a head-end controller relay SNMP configuration and status requests to downstream CPE that lack full independent IP management. Categories of data are proxy session/port state and remote-management routing rather than classic environmental sensors, and its main monitoring use is a software/communication-status check confirming a subscriber unit's management proxy path is up and reachable, rather than direct hardware telemetry like temperature or power. It builds on COM21's broader ComController/HCX MIB family for the underlying subscriber terminal objects it proxies. It's typically deployed only in legacy COM21 DOCSIS-era cable head-end/CPE monitoring environments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the COM21-HCXSTUPRXY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COM21-HCXSTUPRXY-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 ComController head-end platform
  • COM21 HCX subscriber terminal unit (cable modem/CPE)

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were available in the source metadata for this module, so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real identifiers; in general terms, an operator would use this module's proxy objects to confirm the ComController can still reach and relay management traffic to a given HCX subscriber terminal unit's port, with failures indicating a lost proxy path rather than a fully unreachable device.

What Can Be Monitored

  • proxy port reachability
  • subscriber terminal unit management session status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using stuCurrEtherRunts OID:

Select a Com21 ComController HCX ComPort proxy (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 stuCurrEtherRunts 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 number of runt packets received by the ComPort in the current 15minute 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 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.
