Description: Brocade Foundry IPX MIB providing Internetwork Packet Exchange routing and service advertisement management for legacy NetWare environments.

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.

What Is FOUNDRY-SN-IPX-MIB?

FOUNDRY-SN-IPX-MIB is a Brocade (Foundry) proprietary MIB providing management of the legacy Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol stack, Novell NetWare's routed network-layer protocol, on Foundry routers/switches, including IPX routing mode, RIP-based route filtering, and NetBIOS filtering. It exposes configuration objects (routing mode, NetBIOS filter mode, RIP filter lists) alongside traffic counters for received, transmitted, forwarded, and dropped/filtered IPX packets, plus administrative clear-counter/clear-route/clear-cache actions. Its monitoring value lies in traffic and software/configuration-state visibility for IPX, letting administrators track packet forwarding rates and dropped-packet counts to confirm IPX traffic is flowing correctly or to identify filtering misconfigurations causing unexpected drops. It is a legacy, vendor-specific module with no strong dependency on modern IETF standards, reflecting a NetWare-era protocol now rarely deployed. It applied to Brocade/Foundry routing switches in legacy enterprise networks that still ran Novell NetWare IPX services, and administrators can download the FOUNDRY-SN-IPX-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FOUNDRY-SN-IPX-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

  • Brocade (Foundry) routing switches (legacy NetWare/IPX environments)

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll snIpxRcvPktsCnt, snIpxTxPktsCnt, and snIpxFwdPktsCnt to baseline normal IPX traffic volume, then watch snIpxRcvDropPktsCnt and snIpxRcvFiltPktsCnt for a spike that would reveal packets being dropped or filtered unexpectedly. Checking snIpxRoutingMode and snIpxRipGblFiltList/snIpxRipFiltOnAllPort would confirm whether a RIP filter list is inadvertently blocking legitimate IPX route advertisements. The snIpxClearTrafficCnts object lets an operator reset counters to isolate a new traffic anomaly from historical totals.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPX packets received/transmitted/forwarded
  • dropped/filtered IPX packet counts
  • IPX routing mode
  • RIP route filter configuration
  • NetBIOS filter mode
