Description: Lucent/Avaya IPX interface management private MIB providing extended SNMP objects for IPX interface configuration and statistics.

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 IPX-INTERFACE-MANAGEMENT-PRIVATE-MIB?

IPX-INTERFACE-MANAGEMENT-PRIVATE-MIB is a Lucent/Avaya "Cajun" private extension for managing IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) protocol interfaces on Cajun-brand switches/routers, a legacy Novell-era network-layer protocol still supported on some enterprise switching platforms. With no sample objects available, its scope is inferred from the short description as extended configuration and statistics for IPX-enabled interfaces beyond whatever base IPX MIB support existed. Its monitoring relevance is toward the software/protocol-configuration status of IPX routing interfaces on the device -- such as whether an interface has IPX enabled and correctly configured -- rather than physical hardware, since IPX is a legacy routed protocol layer, not a hardware subsystem. It would be used alongside any standard or Cajun-platform IPX routing MIB it extends, providing vendor-specific interface detail. It's deployed in legacy enterprise networks that retained Novell IPX/SPX traffic on Lucent/Avaya Cajun switching infrastructure, typically during the IPX-to-IP migration era, and administrators maintaining such legacy gear can still get an IPX-INTERFACE-MANAGEMENT-PRIVATE-MIB download to load into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPX-INTERFACE-MANAGEMENT-PRIVATE-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

Lucent/Avaya Cajun switches/routers (legacy IPX support)

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were provided for this module, so a concrete object-level example cannot be given without inventing plausible-sounding names; broadly, an administrator would use this MIB to verify IPX interface configuration and traffic statistics on a Cajun switch/router to confirm legacy Novell IPX connectivity remained functional during a migration to IP-only networking.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
cjnIpxIfMgmt	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2			Cajun Private IPX Interface Management MIB
cjnIpxIfGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1
INT cjnIpxIfNextIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The next available IfIndex. This number should be used to create new rows in the IpxIfTable.
INT cjnIpxIfNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The number of IPX interfaces.
cjnIpxIfTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3		not-accessible	A list of Cajun IPX interface entries. The number of entries is given by the value of cjnIpxIfNumber.
cjnIpxIfEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1		not-accessible	A Cajun IPX interface instance.
I32 cjnIpxIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.1	Integer32	read-only	The globally unique identifier for this interface. This number MUST correlate with the IfTable's IfIndex in MIB-II or RFC2233.
ROW cjnIpxIfRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.2	RowStatus	read-create	The status of this row, by which new entries may be created, or old entries deleted from this table.
NET cjnIpxIfNetNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.3	NetNumber	read-create	The IPX network number associated with this IPX interface.
INT cjnIpxIfEncapsType	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.4	INTEGER	read-create	The Ethernet encapsulation type used on this IPX interface.
I32 cjnIpxIfVlanIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.5	Integer32	read-create	The interface index of the VLAN for this interface. This number MUST correlate with the IfTable's IfIndex in MIB-II or RFC2233.
STR cjnIpxIfName	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.6	DisplayString	read-create	The protocol unique name associated with this interface. This name is limited to 31 characters and may appear in other protocol interface entries such as IP and Appletalk but MAY NOT be duplicated within the cjnIpxIfTable. In other words, other protocols can use this interface name but IPX may only have this name associated with one interface.
I32 cjnIpxIfTicks	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.7	Integer32	read-create	The period of time, in ticks, that it takes to transmit one byte of data, excluding protocol headers, to a destination on the other end of the circuit, if the circuit is free of other traffic.
INT cjnIpxIfType20RbcastMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.8	INTEGER	read-create	The handling of NetBIOS Type 20 packets on the interface. If set to disabled(1), Type 20 packets are neither sent nor received on the interface. If set to inbound(2), Type 20 packets may be received but not sent. If set to outbound(3), Type 20 packets may be sent on the interface but not received. If set to both(4), Type 20 packets may be sent and received.
INT cjnIpxIfAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.9	INTEGER	read-create	The administrative state of this interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with ifAdminStatus in the down(2) state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, ifAdminStatus is then changed to either the up(1) or testing(3) states (or remains in the down(2) state).
INT cjnIpxIfOperStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.2.43.3.2.1.3.1.10	INTEGER	read-only	The current operational state of this interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If cjnIpxIfAdminStatus is down(2) then cjnIpxIfOperStatus should be down(2). If cjnIpxIfAdminStatus is up(1) then cjnIpxIfOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to lowerLayerDown(4) if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a port on the VLAN associated with the interface becoming operational).
