Description: Indicates the number of MAC addresses learnt by the device.

What is jnxMacAddressesLearnt?

This is a running count of MAC addresses the device has learned into its forwarding database. Admins monitor this counter's growth rate to spot abnormal levels of new-address learning, which can indicate a MAC-flooding attack or an unusually large number of new devices joining the network. A sudden spike in jnxMacAddressesLearnt over a short period could indicate a rogue device flooding the switch with spoofed source MAC addresses.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.1.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-EX-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB::jnxMacAddressesLearnt

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.1.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-EX-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB::jnxMacAddressesLearnt.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Juniper EX-series Ethernet switch (MAC address notification) 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 jnxMacAddressesLearnt into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Indicates the number of MAC addresses learnt by the device. 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, 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.
