Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is CPQNIC-MIB?

CPQNIC-MIB is a Compaq, later HP/HPE, module for monitoring the health and performance of network interface cards (NICs) in Compaq/ProLiant servers, part of the Compaq/HP Insight Management agent family. It is expected to expose per-adapter data such as link status, speed/duplex, driver/firmware information, and traffic throughput counters for each NIC in the system. Its primary purpose is hardware health monitoring: detecting a failed or down network adapter, a link operating at a degraded speed, or a NIC that has stopped passing traffic, which is critical for servers relying on teamed or redundant network adapters. It works alongside the broader Compaq/HP Insight Manager MIB family, such as CPQHOST and CPQSTDEQ, rather than standing entirely alone. It is deployed on Compaq/HP ProLiant rack and tower servers managed through HP Insight Manager or similar SNMP-based server management consoles. Engineers can download the CPQNIC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CPQNIC-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

Compaq/HP ProLiant server
server network interface card (NIC)

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were provided for this MIB, so specific object names can't be cited; in general, an administrator would expect a per-NIC table reporting link/operational status, negotiated speed and duplex, and traffic counters, and would poll it to detect a NIC link-down event or a failed adapter in a teamed configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

NIC link status
NIC speed/duplex
NIC traffic counters
NIC adapter health

CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterAlignmentErrors	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.20	Counter	read-only	A count of frames received on a particular interface that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS check. The alignment of a frame is checked by the receiver after the packet has failed the Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC). Misaligned packets do not end on an 8-bit boundary. All packets contain a set number of bytes and must end after a defined number of bytes. Packets that do not end on a byte boundary fail the alignment check. Faulty components may be the cause of alignment errors. Check the following: Segment too long: Nodes at the far end of the cabling system transmit, unaware that a station at the other end has already gained control of the medium by transmitting the first 64 bytes of a frame. Failing cable: Packet data traveling through shorted or damaged cabling may become corrupt before reaching the destination station. Segment not grounded properly: Improper grounding of a segment may allow ground-induced noise to corrupt data flow. Improper termination: If a cable segment is not properly terminated, allowing the signal to be absorbed upon reaching the end of the segment, a partial signal will bounce back and collide with existing signals. Noisy cable: Interference or noise produced by motors or other devices can distort the signals and cause CRC/Alignment errors. Deaf/partially deaf node: A faulty station that cannot hear the activity is considered a deaf node. If you suspect a deaf node, replace the NIC. Failing repeater, transceiver, or controller: Repeaters, transceivers, and controllers can disrupt the network signal, transmit erroneous signals on the wire, or ignore incoming packets. Perform the following steps: 1. If your NIC is continuously transmitting, it causes erroneous signals, or 'jabber'. Replace a jabbering transmitter to ensure proper network performance. 2. Check your hub or switch. This component may be at fault. Use the diagnostics from the component manufacturer to help you determine if a problem exists.
CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterBadReceives	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.19	Counter	read-only	A count of frames that were received by the adapter but which had an error. This counter is the sum of mib items cpqNicIfPhysAdapterAlignmentErrors, cpqNicIfPhysAdapterFCSErrors, cpqNicIfPhysAdapterFrameTooLongs, and cpqNicIfPhysAdapterInternalMacReceiveErrors. If this counter increments frequently, check the more detailed error statistics and take appropriate action.
CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterBadTransmits	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.18	Counter	read-only	A count of frames that were not transmitted by the adapter because of an error. This counter is the sum of MIB items cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDeferredTransmissions cpqNicIfPhysAdapterLateCollisions, cpqNicIfPhysAdapterExcessiveCollisions, cpqNicIfPhysAdapterCarrierSenseErrors, and cpqNicIfPhysAdapterInternalMacTransmitErrors. If this counter increments frequently, check the more detailed error statistics and take appropriate action.
CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterCarrierSenseErrors	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.28	Counter	read-only	The number of packets transmitted with carrier sense errors: This counter contains the number of times that the carrier sense signal from the physical layer interface was not asserted or was de-asserted during transmission of a packet without collision. The carrier sense signal is an ongoing activity of a data station to detect whether or not another station is transmitting. Carrier sense errors are detected when a station transmits a frame and does not detect its own signal on the wire. If you receive carrier sense errors, check the following: Failing cable: Packet data traveling through shorted or damaged cabling may cause a signal loss. Ensure that your cable is working and plugged in properly. Segment not grounded properly: Improper grounding of a segment may allow ground-induced noise to interrupt the signal. Ensure that you have properly grounded all segments. Noisy cable: Interference or noise produced by motors or other devices can interrupt the signals. Deaf/partially deaf node: A faulty station that cannot hear the activity is considered a deaf node. If you suspect a deaf node, the network interface card should be replaced. Failing hub, switch, or controller: Repeaters, switches and controllers can disrupt the network signal, transmit erroneous signals on the wire, or ignore incoming packets. Perform the following steps: 1. Swap out the adapter, adapter cable, and adapter attachment point, one at a time. If you find a faulty component, replace it. 2. If none of the items listed above help you isolate the problem, you may need to replace the switch or hub. Use a network analyzer to isolate the problem area.
INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterCondition	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.12	INTEGER	read-only	The condition of this physical adapter. This value is driven by the cpqNicIfPhysAdapterStatus object as follows: other(1) Indicates that the value of the Physical Adapter Status is unknown(1). ok(2) Indicates that the value of the Physical Adapter Status is ok(2). degraded(3) Defined for all condition variables, but is not applicable for single adapters. failed(4) Indicates that the value of the Physical Adapter Status is linkFailure(4).
INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterConfSpeedDuplex	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.34	INTEGER	read-only	The physical adapter configured speed and duplex.

CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDeferredTransmissions	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.24	Counter	read-only	The number of packets deferred before transmission: This counter contains the number of packets whose transmission was delayed on its first attempt because the medium was busy. Packets involved in any collisions are not counted. Frames that wait before transmission are counted. This statistic will be incremented often during normal operation on a busy network. Deferred transmissions occur when the network is extremely busy; so busy that the NIC did not try to transmit. High counts of multiple collisions and excessive collisions also occur. Deferred transmissions indicate that this segment of the LAN is overcrowded. Reduce the traffic by reorganizing the LAN. For example, if you have 100 stations on one Ethernet bus, break it into two Ethernet segments by adding a NIC to your server. In this way you can balance the load by putting 50 stations on one segment and 50 on the other. If a few isolated stations create the traffic, put them on a separate segment.
INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDma	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-only	The number of the DMA channel used for this physical hardware interface. The number -1 indicates that this device does not use a DMA channel or this information is unavailable.
INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDuplexState	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.11	INTEGER	read-only	This variable describes the current duplex state of the adapter. A value of unknown indicates that the duplex state could not be determined.
cpqNicIfPhysAdapterEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1		not-accessible	A physical adapter table entry.
CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterExcessiveCollisions	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.26	Counter	read-only	The number of packets aborted during transmission due to excessive collisions: This counter contains the number of packets that, due to excessive collisions, are not transmitted successfully. A station may attempt to transmit up to 16 times before it must abort the attempt. Once the abort occurs, this counter increments. If you see an increase in deferred transmissions as well as excessive collisions, the network is extremely busy and this segment of the LAN is overcrowded. Reduce the traffic by reorganizing your LAN or adding a NIC to the server. For example, if you have 100 stations on one Ethernet bus, break it into two Ethernet buses by adding a NIC to your server. In this way you can balance the load by putting 50 stations on one bus and 50 on the other. If there are a few isolated stations creating the traffic, try placing them on a separate bus. Faulty components may be the cause of excessive collisions. Check the following: Segment too long: Nodes at the far end of the cabling system transmit, unaware that a station at the other end has already gained control of the medium by transmitting the first 64 bytes of a frame. Failing cable: Packet data traveling through shorted or damaged cabling may become corrupt before reaching the destination station. Segment not grounded properly: Improper grounding of a segment may allow ground-induced noise to corrupt data flow.

Faulty components may be the cause of FCS errors. Check the following: Segment too long: Nodes at the far end of the cabling system transmit, unaware that a station at the other end has already gained control of the medium by transmitting the first 64 bytes of a frame. Failing cable: Packet data traveling through shorted or damaged cabling may become corrupt before reaching the destination station.

A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of either the cpqNicIfPhysAdapterLateCollisions object, the cpqNicIfPhysAdapterExcessiveCollisions object, or the cpqNicIfPhysAdapterCarrierSenseErrors object. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation- specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterIoAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.6	INTEGER	read-only	The base I/O address of the physical adapter. The number zero (0) indicates that the device does not use I/O mapped addresses or this information is unavailable.

INT cpqNicIfPhysAdapterIrq	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-only	The number of the IRQ (interrupt) used for this physical hardware interface. The number zero (0) indicates that this device does not use an IRQ or this information is unavailable.
CTR cpqNicIfPhysAdapterLateCollisions	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.25	Counter	read-only	Late collisions may be a symptom of cabling problems. A late collision is one that occurred 64 bytes or more into the packet. Late collisions may be an indication that a segment is longer than allowed by the wiring specifications. A station will believe it has control of the cable segment if it has already transmitted 64 bytes. If another node at the far end of the segment has not yet seen the packet, and transmits, this packet will collide with the first transmission after the first 64 bytes have been sent. Ensure that your segment length does not exceed the maximum length allowed. Because the location of cabling problems can be very difficult to detect on an Ethernet network, you may want to 'shorten' an Ethernet segment (remove portions of the network to isolate problems) until the problems are no longer seen, and then expand the network until the problem recurs. If this counter increments quickly in a short period of time, it may mean that the network card is running in half duplex mode, but your hub or switch port is configured for full duplex mode. Compare your network card's configuration with the port's configuration. Late collisions are also included in other collision-related statistics.
