EIP-STATS-MIB

Description: Enterprise internet protection statistics MIB for collecting traffic, attack, and filtering statistics on EIP platforms.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

This enterprise MIB provides traffic and service statistics for an "EIP" internet edge/security appliance, tracking usage counters for key network services it protects or proxies. It exposes generically-named statistic tables for DNS, DHCP, and DHCPv6 activity, each entry pairing a named counter with its current value, allowing flexible reporting of query counts, error counts, or lease activity without a rigid schema. Its role in device monitoring is service/software status and performance counter tracking: it lets an operator see whether DNS and DHCP/DHCPv6 services on the device are actively processing traffic and at what volume, which can reveal a service outage (zero counts) or an anomalous spike suggestive of an attack or misconfigured client storm. There's no clear dependency on external standard MIBs, appearing to be a self-contained named-counter design specific to this platform. It is deployed on security/edge gateway appliances that provide DNS and DHCP services as part of broader internet protection functionality. Engineers can download the EIP-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An admin walks eipDnsStatTable/eipDnsStatEntry, reading each eipDnsStatName/eipDnsStatValue pair to track DNS query or error counters and detect a sudden drop indicating the DNS service has stopped responding. Monitoring eipDhcpStatTable and eipDhcp6StatTable counters can reveal an unusual spike in DHCP lease requests, which might indicate a rogue client or a broadcast storm on the network segment served by the appliance.
