ptopoConnTabInserts

Module: PTOPO-MIB

OID (symbolic): PTOPO-MIB::ptopoConnTabInserts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.79.1.2.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times an entry has been inserted into the ptopoConnTable.

What is ptopoConnTabInserts?

This read-only Counter32, in units of table entries per its source description, counts the number of times an entry has been inserted into the ptopoConnTable. Admins track this alongside ptopoConnTabDeletes and ptopoConnTabAgeouts to gauge overall topology churn on the device, such as frequent neighbor discovery and loss on an unstable segment. For example, a rapidly climbing TabInserts count alongside an equally climbing TabAgeouts count would suggest a flapping link or unstable neighboring device causing repeated topology re-learning.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.79.1.2.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTOPO-MIB::ptopoConnTabInserts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.79.1.2.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTOPO-MIB::ptopoConnTabInserts.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (physical topology discovery) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PTOPO-MIB::ptopoConnTabInserts OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (physical topology discovery) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing PTOPO-MIB 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 ptopoConnTabInserts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of times an entry has been inserted into the ptopoConnTable. 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 (in table entries), 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.
