ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic

Module: IPSEC-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPSEC-MIB::ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.500.1.1.1.1.31

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The amount of user level traffic measured in bytes handled by the protection suite in the inbound direction.

This is not necessarily the same as the amount of traffic applied against the traffic expiration limit.

What is ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic?

A 64-bit counter of user-level bytes handled by this protection suite in the inbound direction; not necessarily the same figure as ipsecProtSuiteInTrafficCount, which tracks only what counts toward the traffic expiration limit.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.500.1.1.1.1.31
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPSEC-MIB::ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.500.1.1.1.1.31.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPSEC-MIB::ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing IPSEC-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 ipsecProtSuiteInboundTraffic 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 amount of user level traffic measured in bytes handled by the protection suite in the inbound direction. 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 bytes), 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.
