What Is USR-TCP-MIB?

USR-TCP-MIB is a CommWorks Corporation (a 3Com Company, U.S. Robotics heritage) proprietary MIB configuring TCP-process behavior on the commWorks remote-access platform. Its objects cover a config-modified flag, config file name, max connections, Nagle-algorithm status, keepalive status/interval, and an ahead-of-segment-dropped counter. As a configuration/performance MIB it lets an administrator confirm TCP tuning (Nagle, keepalive, max connections) and watch out-of-order segment drops on a CommWorks (3Com/U.S. Robotics) remote-access platform. It is deployed on CommWorks (3Com/U.S. Robotics) remote-access platforms. Engineers can download the USR-TCP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in USR-TCP-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • TCP process configuration and segment-drop statistics

Supported Devices

  • CommWorks (3Com/U.S. Robotics) remote-access platforms

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks usrTcpMaxConn and usrTcpAheadofSegDropped to confirm TCP connection capacity and out-of-order segment drops on a CommWorks (3Com) remote-access platform.

OIDs
OID symbolicOID numericTypeAccessDescription
usrTcp1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45The commWorks enterprise defined MIB objects for the TCP process.
USR usrTcpCFMStatusFlag1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.1UsrConfigStatusread-writeThis variable controls saving and loading of configuration information for the TCP Module. The value can be set to either save or load by a management station. The other values indicate if any configuration operation and what type is in progress.
STR usrTcpCfgFileName1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.2UsrDisplayStringread-onlyThe name of a ConfigFile to read/write permanent database records. If the value of this object is an empty string, then the TCP module uses the default name `@file://TCPModule.cfg'.
I32 usrTcpMaxConn1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.3Integer32read-writeThe limit on the total number of TCP connections the entity can support. In entities where the maximum number of connections is dynamic, this object should contain the value -1. This a read-write version of the tcpMaxConn object in rfc1213.
INT usrTcpNagleStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.4INTEGERread-writeEnable or disable tcp Nagle Algorithm. When read, it returns the current setting
INT usrTcpKeepaliveStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.5INTEGERread-writeEnable or disable TCP keep-alives. When read, it returns the current setting.
I32 usrTcpKeepaliveInterval1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.6Integer32read-writeThe number of seconds of inactivity on a TCP session after which a TCP keep-alive packet is transmitted on the session to discover whether it is still active.
I32 usrTcpAheadofSegDropped1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.45.7Integer32read-onlyAhead of TCP sequences received and dropped counter can also be a good indication of network packet dropping
