Module: S5-CHASSIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): S5-CHASSIS-MIB::s5ChasGblPhysChngs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description: The total number of physical changes (i.e., an addition or removal of a component or sub-component) that have been detected in the chassis since cold/warm start of the agent.

What is s5ChasGblPhysChngs?

A running count of every physical change (a component or sub-component added or removed) detected anywhere in the chassis since the agent last cold- or warm-started. A sudden jump is a quick way to notice unplanned hardware changes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> S5-CHASSIS-MIB::s5ChasGblPhysChngs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.1.7.1

Start monitoring Avaya/Nortel BayStack S5000 series chassis switches (chassis identity/hardware-change counters) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the S5-CHASSIS-MIB::s5ChasGblPhysChngs OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Avaya/Nortel BayStack S5000 series chassis switches (chassis identity/hardware-change counters) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Avaya/Nortel BayStack S5000 series chassis switch (chassis identity/hardware-change counters) 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 s5ChasGblPhysChngs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of physical changes (i.e., an addition or removal of a component or sub-component) that have been detected in the chassis since cold/warm start of the agent. 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.
