Description: Manages IPX network address configuration and frame type settings on CommWorks/3Com equipment.

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 USR-IPX-CFG-MIB?

USR-IPX-CFG-MIB is a CommWorks/3Com (formerly U.S. Robotics) enterprise MIB governing IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) protocol configuration on legacy remote-access/networking equipment. It exposes objects for configuring IPX network addressing and frame-type/encapsulation settings used when the device routes or bridges Novell IPX traffic. For monitoring it is primarily a configuration-state MIB, letting an operator confirm which IPX network numbers and frame types are configured per interface, which is useful for diagnosing IPX connectivity or frame-type mismatch problems on legacy Novell NetWare networks. It is a self-contained vendor MIB with no significant dependency on other standard MIBs beyond basic SNMP conventions. It would have been deployed on CommWorks/3Com/U.S. Robotics access servers or routers supporting IPX in enterprise networks that still ran Novell NetWare services. Engineers can download the USR-IPX-CFG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in USR-IPX-CFG-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

3Com/CommWorks (U.S. Robotics) access server or router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would review the IPX frame-type configuration objects per interface to confirm that the device's encapsulation (e.g., Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, or Ethernet_II) matches what the rest of the IPX network segment expects, since a mismatch is a classic cause of silent IPX connectivity failure. No sample objects were available in the source data for this module, so specific object names cannot be cited; this description is grounded only in the module's stated IPX configuration purpose.

What Can Be Monitored

IPX network address configuration
IPX frame type/encapsulation setting
per-interface IPX configuration state

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
usrIpxCfg	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20			The commWorks enterprise defined MIB objects for the IPX Configuration process.
usrIpxCfgNetworkTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1		not-accessible	This table is the same as the usrIpxPortalTable, with the exception that it is indexed by the Network Number defined in the usrIpxStaticRouteTable. This table will be used only by the the Configuration File Manager process to load permament configuration file records for named networks at system boot time. Any attempt to set this table from either the CLI process or SNMP will fail.
usrIpxCfgNetworkEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1		not-accessible	A (conceptual) entry for one IPX Network.
I32 usrIpxCfgNetSysInstance	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.1	Integer32	not-accessible	The unique identifier of the instance of IPX to which this row corresponds.
I32 usrIpxCfgNetNetNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.2	Integer32	not-accessible	The unique identifier for this IPX network.
INT usrIpxCfgNetNetBiosState	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	The state of NetBios Processing. When enabled the router maintains a NetBios name table.
I32 usrIpxCfgNetNetworkDelay	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.4	Integer32	read-write	The delay, in ticks, for this portal interface.
INT usrIpxCfgNetRipBroadcastState	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	RIP broadcast packet state. When enabled IPX RIP will be enabled to send out RIP request packets transmitted over this portal. To totally disable RIP traffic usrIpxPortalRipPeriodicState must also be set to disable.
INT usrIpxCfgNetSapBroadcastState	1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.20.1.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	SAP broadcast packet state. When enabled IPX SAP will be enabled to send out SAP request packets transmitted over this portal. To totally disable SAP traffic usrIpxPortalSapPeriodicState must also be set to disable.
