Description: Number of input packets.

What is dellNetFpPartyBusInputPackets?

This read-only Counter32 reports the total number of packets received over the internal "party bus" -- the internal channel that carries CPU-destined traffic between the switch ASIC and the management CPU (or between stacked units' CPUs). An admin checking whether control-plane traffic (protocol packets, ARP, packets punted for CPU handling) is flowing cleanly between the hardware and the CPU watches the *Dropped/*Error variants for this device rise as an early sign of internal bus congestion or a CPU that cannot keep up, well before that shows up as a user-visible protocol problem.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpPartyBusInputPackets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpPartyBusInputPackets.1

Start monitoring Dell Networking switch (forwarding-plane CPU statistics) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpPartyBusInputPackets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Dell Networking switch (forwarding-plane CPU statistics) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Dell Networking switch (forwarding-plane CPU statistics) 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 dellNetFpPartyBusInputPackets 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. It reports the number of input packets. 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.
