Module: DOT3-EPON-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-EPON-MIB::dot3MpcpMACCtrlFramesTransmitted

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.155.1.1.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: A count of MPCP frames passed to the MAC sublayer for transmission. This counter is incremented when a MA_CONTROL.request service primitive is generated within the MAC control sublayer with an opcode indicating an MPCP frame. This object is applicable for an OLT and an ONU. At the OLT it has a distinct value for each virtual interface. Discontinuities of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of the ifCounterDiscontinuityTime object of the Interface MIB module.

What is dot3MpcpMACCtrlFramesTransmitted?

This counts MPCP frames handed to the MAC sublayer for transmission on this virtual link, and can reset (discontinuity) when the system reinitializes. Admins graph this counter to confirm MPCP control traffic is actively flowing outbound on a given LLID rather than stalled.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.155.1.1.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-EPON-MIB::dot3MpcpMACCtrlFramesTransmitted

Get a specific instance (index 1):

Start monitoring EPON OLT/ONU (802.3ah EPON MPCP, vendor-neutral IEEE standard) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DOT3-EPON-MIB::dot3MpcpMACCtrlFramesTransmitted OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any EPON OLT/ONU (802.3ah EPON MPCP, vendor-neutral IEEE standard) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an EPON OLT/ONU (802.3ah EPON MPCP, vendor-neutral IEEE standard) 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 dot3MpcpMACCtrlFramesTransmitted 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 a count of MPCP frames passed to the MAC sublayer for transmission. 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 (in frames), 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.
