mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges

Module: MITEL-BCM-MIB

OID (symbolic): MITEL-BCM-MIB::mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.2.1.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times the source address (SA) of good received packets has changed. A count greater than one generally indicates the port is connected to a repeater based network.

What is mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges?

This Counter32 counts how many times the source MAC address seen in good packets received on this port has changed. Its operational meaning is diagnostic: the description explains that a count greater than one generally indicates the port is connected to a repeater-based (hub) network rather than a single device or switch. For example, if mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges reads 15 on a port expected to have a single directly attached PC, an admin would suspect a hub or unmanaged switch has been plugged into that port.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.2.1.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MITEL-BCM-MIB::mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.2.1.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MITEL-BCM-MIB::mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges.1

Start monitoring Mitel Business Communication Manager (BCM) appliance (Broadcom switch statistics) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the MITEL-BCM-MIB::mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Mitel Business Communication Manager (BCM) appliance (Broadcom switch statistics) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Mitel Business Communication Manager (BCM) appliance (Broadcom switch 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 mitelBCMPortRxSAChanges 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 times the source address (SA) of good received packets has changed. 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.
