What is foreFastIwfTxCells?

Counts the ATM cells that have arrived at the ATM Service Access Point from the upper, FAST-packet, layer for transmission on this interworking function. Admins track this counter to gauge outbound cell-level traffic volume on the FAST-to-ATM interworking path, useful for capacity and utilization checks. A steadily climbing foreFastIwfTxCells while foreFastIwfTxResourceFail stays flat indicates healthy outbound cell throughput with no resource contention.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.21.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-FAST-MIB::foreFastIwfTxCells

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.1.21.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-FAST-MIB::foreFastIwfTxCells.1

Start monitoring Fore Systems (later Marconi) ForeRunner ATM switch (internal FAST switch fabric) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the Fore-FAST-MIB::foreFastIwfTxCells OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Fore Systems (later Marconi) ForeRunner ATM switch (internal FAST switch fabric) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Fore Systems (later Marconi) ForeRunner ATM switch (internal FAST switch fabric) 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 foreFastIwfTxCells 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. The number of cells that have arrived at the ATM SAP from the upper layer. 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.
