Description: Provides Xerox XCMI common base objects and OID tree for all Xerox printer management MIB modules.

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 XEROX-COMMON-MIB?

XEROX-COMMON-MIB is the Xerox Common MIB Interchange (XCMI) root module, providing shared base data types and a common OID tree used across all Xerox printer and multifunction device management MIB modules. It defines low-level reusable data types — 64-bit counters, gauges, and integers split into high/low words, coded country/language enumerations, and generic placeholder objects — rather than device-specific status objects itself. Because every other Xerox device MIB module imports these types, the XEROX-COMMON-MIB MIB file must be compiled first or dependent object syntax will fail to resolve in a MIB browser. It supports the broader Xerox MIB ecosystem's ability to report software/hardware status (print job counters, page counts, consumable levels) by supplying the 64-bit counter/gauge building blocks (e.g. xCmGenCounter64High/Low, xCmGenGauge64High/Low) that those functional MIBs compose into wide counters. It is a foundational dependency imported by essentially every other Xerox-specific printer MIB module. It is deployed as a prerequisite compile-time MIB wherever Xerox printers and multifunction devices are managed via SNMP.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEROX-COMMON-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.

Monitoring Examples

XEROX-COMMON-MIB itself defines type-building blocks rather than pollable device metrics: xCmGenCounter64High and xCmGenCounter64Low are combined by dependent Xerox MIBs to represent 64-bit counters (such as total pages printed) that exceed a 32-bit Counter32 range. xCmGenCodedCountry and xCmGenCodedLanguage supply enumerated values referenced by localization-related objects in other Xerox MIBs. There is no standalone monitoring scenario for this module — it must be loaded so the type definitions resolve for the functional Xerox printer MIBs that actually expose job, tray, and consumable status.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using xcmPrtDrvrHwdOptMemoryInMBs OID:

Select a Xerox VersaLink C7100 Series (current) 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 xcmPrtDrvrHwdOptMemoryInMBs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the amount of physical memory, in megabytes, installed in the printer. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reported memory drops to 0 or below the amount you expect to be installed, which can indicate a memory module fault. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
