Description: Lucent/Avaya IPX SAP private MIB providing SNMP objects for IPX Service Advertising Protocol server entry and filter management.

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-SAP-PRIVATE-MIB?

IPX-SAP-PRIVATE-MIB is a Lucent/Avaya private enterprise MIB for the Cajun family of LAN switches, covering the legacy Novell IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) used to advertise network services in older NetWare-based enterprise networks. It exposes configuration and status data for SAP server entries learned or advertised by the switch and for SAP filter rules that control which advertisements are propagated. Its role in monitoring is mostly software/protocol-state oriented, confirming that expected services appear in the SAP table and that filters correctly block or permit entries, rather than reporting physical hardware health, which on Cajun platforms is covered by separate chassis MIBs. It sits in the vendor's Cajun private enterprise MIB tree and depends on core IPX addressing/service-type conventions rather than an IETF standard. Typical deployment is legacy Cajun LAN switches still carrying residual IPX/NetWare traffic in older campus networks, where IPX-SAP-PRIVATE-MIB SNMP monitoring confirms legacy service advertisements and filter rules remain correctly applied.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPX-SAP-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 LAN switches

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured for this MIB; based on the module description, an admin would typically check the SAP server entry table for expected NetWare service advertisements and review SAP filter entries to confirm unwanted advertisements are being suppressed, though specific object names cannot be confirmed without further data.

What Can Be Monitored

SAP server entry status
SAP filter rule configuration
advertised NetWare service types

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cjnIpxSapIfStatTriggeredUpdatesSent OID:

Select a Lucent/Avaya Cajun LAN switch (legacy IPX SAP) 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 cjnIpxSapIfStatTriggeredUpdatesSent 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 SAP triggered updates sent on the interface. 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.
