aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter

Module: POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB

OID (symbolic): POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Counts the number of times that the aPethPsePortPowerMaintenanceStatus attribute changes from any value to the value mPSAbsent(3).

What is aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter?

A Counter32 that increments each time aPethPsePortPowerMaintenanceStatus transitions to mPSAbsent(3) from any other value. Admins track this to see how often a PD on this port drops its power-maintenance signature, e.g. from a flaky cable or device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter.1

Start monitoring Early IEEE 802.3af PoE-capable Ethernet switches with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Early IEEE 802.3af PoE-capable Ethernet switches from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Early IEEE 802.3af PoE-capable Ethernet switch 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 aPethPsePortMPSAbsentCounter 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. Counts the number of times that the aPethPsePortPowerMaintenanceStatus attribute changes from any value to the value mPSAbsent(3). 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.
