prvtStatSapInPackets

Module: PRVT-STATISTICS-MIB

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.181.1.3.1.4

Description: Matched frames per second

What is prvtStatSapInPackets?

Cumulative count of packets received (matched) at this SAP (Service Access Point, the customer-facing side of the service) on the ingress direction. An admin uses this as the baseline ingress traffic counter for the service, to compute overall throughput and to compare against prvtStatSapDropPackets for a loss rate. The source DESCRIPTION for this object mislabels it as a per-second rate ('Matched frames per second'), but the object's SYNTAX is Counter64 with MAX-ACCESS read-only, so in practice it behaves as a cumulative counter, not a rate; a rate should be derived by an admin from successive polls.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.181.1.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-STATISTICS-MIB::prvtStatSapInPackets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.181.1.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-STATISTICS-MIB::prvtStatSapInPackets.1

SNMPv3 example:

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

Start monitoring BATM Advanced Communication switch (ingress policy traffic statistics) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PRVT-STATISTICS-MIB::prvtStatSapInPackets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BATM Advanced Communication switch (ingress policy traffic statistics) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a BATM Advanced Communication switch (ingress policy traffic 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 prvtStatSapInPackets 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. It reports the matched frames per second. 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.
