Description: Provides SNMP management objects for IPX host address and routing configuration on CommWorks (3Com) broadband equipment.

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 IPXHOST-MIB?

IPXHOST-MIB is a 3Com/CommWorks proprietary enterprise MIB providing management objects for IPX host addressing and routing configuration on CommWorks broadband access equipment. It exposes configuration-style objects for assigning and inspecting IPX host/network addresses and associated routing parameters on the device. In a monitoring context it would be used to confirm the device's IPX addressing and routing configuration is correctly applied and consistent, relevant to diagnosing IPX connectivity issues on broadband access gear that still supports the protocol. It is a proprietary CommWorks/3Com module built on the general concept of the IPX protocol rather than importing a standard IETF IPX MIB. It is typically deployed on 3Com/CommWorks broadband remote access equipment in legacy multiprotocol network environments. Engineers can download the IPXHOST-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPXHOST-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.

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names were supplied for this module (sample_objects is empty), so a concrete polling scenario naming real objects cannot be honestly constructed. In general such a MIB would expose IPX host address and route configuration objects, but no specific object names can be confirmed from the available data.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using usrIpxPortalLargeHopCount OID:

Select a 3Com/CommWorks broadband access device (IPX host addressing) 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 usrIpxPortalLargeHopCount 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. Displays number of IPX pkts with Large hop count. 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.
