Category: SNMP Infrastructure and Standards

Description: Defines public SNMP agent objects for system identification, capability reporting, and agent status.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is SNMP-AGENT-PUBLIC-MIB?

SNMP-AGENT-PUBLIC-MIB is a small, vendor-published "public" convenience MIB defining a common set of SNMP agent identification and capability objects intended to be reused across an agent implementation's product line. It exposes basic agent-level data, namely system/product identification, reported capabilities, and overall agent operational status. Its monitoring relevance is confirming the SNMP agent process itself is alive and correctly identifying its capabilities/status to a manager, which matters when diagnosing a device that stopped responding to SNMP versus a genuine hardware fault. It is typically imported by other, more specific MIBs from the same agent/vendor as a shared base of system-identification objects rather than standing alone. It is deployed wherever an SNMP agent needs a lightweight, common self-identification and status object set, often as a foundation MIB underneath a vendor's fuller management MIB suite, making it a useful SNMP-AGENT-PUBLIC-MIB reference when identifying these shared objects.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SNMP-AGENT-PUBLIC-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

HPE NonStop servers (formerly Tandem Computers / Compaq NonStop systems)

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names were supplied for this module, so a concrete polling example can't be grounded in real identifiers; typically an operator would poll the agent-status object as a quick liveness check before drilling into the vendor's more detailed hardware/software MIBs, since a non-responsive or error-state agent object usually means the whole SNMP interface is degraded.

INT zagInPfRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.1	INTEGER	not-accessible	Used to manage the creation, alteration and deletion of table rows. The row must in the 'notReady' or the 'notInService' state for any row object to be modified. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.
STR zagInPfName	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.2	DisplayString	not-accessible	The name assigned to this profile. This object is created by the agent by extracting the index value from the initial row creation varbind. For compatibility with Tandem's Subsystem Control Facility (SCF): 1. The name must be capitalized. 2. The name must start with '#'. 3. Valid characters are 'A' to 'Z' and '0' to '9'. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.
INT zagInPfState	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.3	INTEGER	not-accessible	The current operational state of the profile. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.
STR zagInPfHostAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.4	DisplayString	not-accessible	The address of the host sending the message. In conjunction with the community name, provides the authentication attributes for validating received messages. If the value of this attribute is 0.0.0.0, messages with the correct commuinty string will be accepted without regard to the originating host's address. The default value is 0.0.0.0. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.
STR zagInPfCommunity	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.5	DisplayString	not-accessible	A data string to be compared with the community string of received messages for the purpose of authenticating the message. The default value is 'public'. The community string can be divided into two sections, with syntax: {}[::] The agent community string length can be 0 to 50 bytes. The total community string length can be 0 to 255 bytes. Since the agent knows only its own community strings, only its community strings will be returned in response to queries, whether via SCF, the SNMP protocol, or the #MGR service point. The following rules apply to setting the agent's community string: 1. The length must be 0 to 50 characters. 2. The community string must not contain successive colons ('::'). 3. The community string must consist entirely of printable characters. If any of these rules is violated, the set is rejected with a 'badValue' errorStatus. The agent does not look at the subagent portion of the community string. Therefore, the subagent portion is defined as OCTET STRING, rather than DisplayString; i.e., it is not restricted to printable characters. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.
INT zagInPfAccess	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.3.1.1.6	INTEGER	not-accessible	Access defines the authority of the community members to retrieve and alter network management information. The default value is read-only. This object is accessible only via the #MGR interface.

STR zagInDirectedTrapdestName	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.1	DisplayString	read-only	This object is used by the subagent to specify a trap destination name (zagInTdName) in the agent's trapDest table to which a directed trap is to be sent. To issue a directed trap, varbinds with this object identifier must appear first in an snmpIPC-Trap-PDU's varbind list. For compatibility with Tandem's Subsystem Control Facility (SCF): 1. The name must be capitalized. 2. The name must start with '#'. 3. Valid characters are 'A' to 'Z' and '0' to '9'.
zagInTrapdestTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2		not-accessible	A list of trap destination entries.
zagInTrapdestEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1		not-accessible	A trap destination entry containing objects defining the attributes of a trap destination.
INT zagInTdRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Used to manage the creation, alteration and deletion of table rows. The row must in the 'notReady' or the 'notInService' state for any row object to be modified.
STR zagInTdName	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.2	DisplayString	read-only	The name assigned to this trapDest. This object is created by the agent by extracting the index value from the initial row creation varbind. For compatibility with Tandem's Subsystem Control Facility (SCF): 1. The name must be capitalized. 2. The name must start with '#'. 3. Valid characters are 'A' to 'Z' and '0' to '9'.
INT zagInTdState	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The current operational state of the trapdest.
STR zagInTdHostAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The address of the host which is to receive trap messages. There is no default value.
STR zagInTdCommunity	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	A data string to be compared with the community string of received messages for the purpose of authenticating the message. The default value is 'Tandem'.
STR zagInTdNetwork	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.6	DisplayString	read-write	The name of the process the agent must use to establish the socket session. The default value is $ZTC0.
INT zagInTdType	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	Broadcast trapDests are sent all trap messages except directed ones. Directed trapDests receive only directed traps.
INT zagInTdPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	The port of the host which is to receive trap messages. The default value is 162.
