What Is Novell-LANalyzer-Ext-MIB?

Novell-LANalyzer-Ext-MIB provides extended network analysis and protocol decode statistics for the Novell LANalyzer network protocol analyzer, a vendor-specific probe/analyzer product rather than a networking infrastructure device. It exposes an alarm table (rpAlarmTable) with rising/falling threshold descriptions similar to RMON alarms, and a host table (rpHostTable) tracking discovered network hosts with their addresses, protocols in use, and first-transmit timestamps. Its monitoring value centers on network traffic and host-discovery visibility rather than classic device hardware health, letting an administrator see which hosts are talking on the segment, which protocols they use, and when threshold-crossing alarm conditions occur, functioning as the analyzer's own software-level fault/event reporting. It extends and complements standard RMON-style alarm concepts (RFC 1757) with Novell-specific host and protocol decode detail. It is deployed wherever a Novell LANalyzer probe is installed on a LAN segment for traffic analysis and troubleshooting. Engineers can download the Novell-LANalyzer-Ext-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Novell-LANalyzer-Ext-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

  • Novell LANalyzer network protocol analyzer/probe
  • vendor-specific analyzer appliance, not a general network infrastructure device

Monitoring Examples

A network administrator polls rpHostTable/rpHostEntry to see newly discovered hosts via rpHostAddress, rpHostCreationOrder, and rpHostFirstTransmit, along with the rpHostProtocols field showing which protocols each host has used. If traffic on the segment spikes unexpectedly, rpAlarmTable/rpAlarmEntry is checked for a triggered alarm, reading rpAlarmRisingDescription or rpAlarmFallingDescription to understand which threshold was crossed and investigate the responsible host.

What Can Be Monitored

  • discovered host addresses
  • protocols observed per host
  • host first-transmit time
  • alarm rising/falling thresholds
  • host creation order
