externalPortReceivedPackets

Module: CORERO-CMS-MIB

OID (symbolic): CORERO-CMS-MIB::externalPortReceivedPackets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.41036.4.1.1.2.4.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: Number of packets received to the external port

What is externalPortReceivedPackets?

This read-only Counter64 tracks the cumulative count of packets received on the external port since the counter was last reset. It gives an admin a running total of external inbound traffic useful for longer-term trend analysis. For example, an admin graphs the delta of externalPortReceivedPackets over a week to establish a baseline inbound traffic pattern for that link.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.41036.4.1.1.2.4.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CORERO-CMS-MIB::externalPortReceivedPackets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.41036.4.1.1.2.4.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CORERO-CMS-MIB::externalPortReceivedPackets.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> externalPortReceivedPackets.1

Start monitoring Corero Network Security DDoS-mitigation appliance (Management Server) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CORERO-CMS-MIB::externalPortReceivedPackets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Corero Network Security DDoS-mitigation appliance (Management Server) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Corero Network Security DDoS-mitigation appliance (Management Server) 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 externalPortReceivedPackets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of packets received to the external port. 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.
