Category: ATM, Network Interfaces

Description: Defines managed objects for Classical IP and ARP over ATM, supporting the management of IP-over-ATM interfaces and address resolution.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring IPOA-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is IPOA-MIB?

IPOA-MIB is an IETF Internetworking Over NBMA (ion) Working Group standard MIB managing Classical IP and ARP over ATM (RFC 2320-family) entities. Its LIS (Logical IP Subnet) table, keyed by subnet address, records default MTU/encapsulation type, inactivity timer, min holding time, queue depth, max calls, cache-entry age, retries, timeout, default peak cell rate, active VC count, and row status, alongside an interface-mapping table and an ARP-client table (ATM address, server-in-use flag, in-ARP-request counts). As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm Classical IP over ATM subnet parameters and ARP-server association on ATM-attached equipment. It is deployed on ATM-attached routing equipment (Classical IP/ARP over ATM). Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the IPOA-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPOA-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

  • ATM-attached routing equipment (Classical IP/ARP over ATM)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks ipoaLisActiveVcs and ipoaArpClientSrvrInUse to confirm Classical IP over ATM subnet and ARP-server state on ATM-attached equipment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • Classical IP over ATM subnet configuration and ARP-server association

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ipoaArpClientInArpInReqs OID:

Select a device implementing IPOA-MIB 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 ipoaArpClientInArpInReqs 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 InATMARP requests received by this client. 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.
