Description: Lucent/Avaya IPX private MIB providing proprietary SNMP objects for extended IPX protocol management beyond standard definitions.

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-PRIVATE-MIB?

This is Lucent/Avaya's proprietary "Cajun" MIB for IPX routing, providing extended SNMP objects for managing Novell IPX protocol routing beyond standard IPX MIB definitions. Based on the module description, it likely exposes IPX routing table/interface configuration and status objects specific to the Cajun switch's IPX routing implementation. It would be used to monitor the software/protocol status of IPX routing, such as route table state and per-interface IPX configuration, on the switch. As a "Private" extension it complements the standard IPX MIB rather than replacing it. It is deployed on Lucent/Avaya Cajun switches in legacy Novell NetWare/IPX network environments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the IPX-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPX-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 (legacy Novell IPX routing)

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names were available in the provided excerpt, so specific OIDs cannot be cited. Given the module description ("Cajun IPX Routing Private MIB"), an admin would typically poll per-interface IPX routing status and route-table entries to detect a misconfigured or down IPX interface on the switch.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cjnIpxInReceives OID:

Select a Lucent/Avaya Cajun switch (legacy Novell IPX routing) 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 cjnIpxInReceives into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of received IPX packets, including those received in error. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
