ctCDPInPackets

Module: CTRON-CDP-MIB

OID (symbolic): CTRON-CDP-MIB::ctCDPInPackets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.2.19.4.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Count of CDP packets received by the device over all the ports.

What is ctCDPInPackets?

This read-only Counter32 tallies the total number of CDP packets received by the device across all its ports. An administrator monitors this counter to confirm the device is actively hearing CDP advertisements from its neighbors, a nonzero and growing count indicating healthy neighbor discovery traffic. For example, if this counter stays at zero despite neighboring CDP-capable switches being connected, the admin suspects CDP is disabled globally or being filtered somewhere in the path.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.2.19.4.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTRON-CDP-MIB::ctCDPInPackets

Start monitoring Cabletron/Enterasys switch (neighbor discovery) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CTRON-CDP-MIB::ctCDPInPackets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cabletron/Enterasys switch (neighbor discovery) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cabletron/Enterasys switch (neighbor discovery) 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 ctCDPInPackets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the count of CDP packets received by the device over all the ports. 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 Counter32-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.
