Description: The number of total octets received in this VLAN/MAC Address.

What is jnxMacHCInOctets?

This is a 64-bit counter tracking the total number of bytes (octets) received for a specific combination of VLAN and MAC address on the device, letting large traffic volumes be counted without wrapping around as quickly as a 32-bit counter would. Administrators use it to measure how much inbound traffic a particular host or VLAN segment is generating, which helps with capacity planning and spotting unusually chatty devices. For example, a value climbing by several gigabytes per hour for one MAC address might flag a server or endpoint pushing an unexpectedly large amount of traffic into that VLAN.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.23.1.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-MAC-MIB::jnxMacHCInOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.23.1.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-MAC-MIB::jnxMacHCInOctets.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> jnxMacHCInOctets.1

Start monitoring Juniper Networks EX-series Ethernet switch (MAC address table/statistics) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the JUNIPER-MAC-MIB::jnxMacHCInOctets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Juniper Networks EX-series Ethernet switch (MAC address table/statistics) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Juniper Networks EX-series Ethernet switch (MAC address table/statistics) 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 jnxMacHCInOctets 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 total octets received in this VLAN/MAC Address. 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.
