Description: Monitors Xerox XCMI communications engine operation, job routing, and protocol processing 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 XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB?

The XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB (version 5.11) is Xerox's companion XCMI MIB for detailed protocol stack graphing and active runtime management of the 'communications engine' driving protocol stacks on Xerox network-attached devices, giving a more granular live view than the config MIB. It exposes engine-level tables tracking the actual running composition, addressing, and management layering of each communications engine instance. Its monitoring emphasis is on software/protocol runtime status: revealing the current layered composition of a running protocol engine to confirm it is actively serving the expected stack, and detecting stalled or misconfigured engines. It relies on RFC 2790's Host Resources MIB (hrDeviceProcessor) for host CPU indexing, matching the config MIB, and the two modules are closely complementary. It was deployed on Xerox network-attached printers and hosts where administrators need live visibility into active protocol engine state beyond static configuration. Engineers can download the XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-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

Xerox network printer/host with XCMI support

Monitoring Examples

xcmCommsEngineTable/xcmCommsEngineEntry objects such as xcmCommsEngineName, xcmCommsEngineStackLast, and xcmCommsEngineMuxLast let an admin see the actual running composition of a protocol stack engine on a Xerox device, versus its configured intent in the companion config MIB. An engine whose xcmCommsEngineRowStatus is inconsistent with the expected active state, or whose xcmCommsEngineAddressLast doesn't match the expected network address, would flag a protocol engine that failed to start correctly.

What Can Be Monitored

active protocol stack engine composition
engine row status
last-known stack/mux/address/management layer
engine create/update support flags

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using xcmCommsTrafficInputCount OID:

Select a Xerox network printer/host with XCMI support (live comms-engine protocol-stack runtime status) 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 xcmCommsTrafficInputCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports a layer input traffic count, used by system administrators and end users of this layer. 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.

Usage: A conceptual row in 'xcmCommsStackTable', which occupies a 'bottom' position in a protocol stack AND has a corresponding row in the 'xcmCommsStackXrefTable', SHOULD have valid references in 'xcmCommsStackXrefIfIndex' (to IETF MIB-II) and 'xcmCommsStackXrefHrCommDevIndex' (to IETF Host Resources MIB). Usage: A conceptual row in 'xcmCommsStackTable' which occupies a 'lowerMux' and/or an 'upperMux' position in a protocol stack SHALL have one (or two) valid corresponding conceptual rows in the 'xcmCommsMuxTable', as the conventionally used 'xcmCommsStack[Lower\|Upper]StackIndex' objects take on zero values for multiplexors (thus breaking the graph of the stack layers, without the use of the 'xcmCommsMuxTable').
ROW xcmCommsStackRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.5.2.1.2	RowStatus	read-only	This object is used to create and delete individual conceptual rows in the 'xcmCommsStackTable'.

Usage: Since this unambiguous stack layer type is specified as an object identifier, it MAY be taken from any IETF, Xerox, third- party, or product-specific MIB, or it MAY simply be any IETF SMIv2-style 'autonomous type'. Usage: Suitable values for this unambiguous stack layer type are specified in the companion XCMI Comms Config TC (eg, 'xcmCONetwareIPX').
CAR xcmCommsStackUpperMuxIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.5.2.1.11	Cardinal32	read-only	The value of 'xcmCommsMuxIndex' corresponding to the first associated conceptual row in the 'xcmCommsMuxTable', or zero if this stack layer's position is NOT 'upperMux'.

Usage: Only for protocol entities whose current purpose is either 'layerInterWorkingUnit' (ie, relays or gateways) or 'systemInterWorkingUnit' (ie, application gateways), it is permitted that the stack layer whose current position is 'top' have an upper layer index pointing to the peer entity (also in a 'top' position) which comprises the 'other half' of a relay or gateway between two different address domains (ie, an active protocol conversion relay) - that is the graphed protocol stack is an inverted 'U'.
xcmCommsStackXref	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.7
xcmCommsStackXrefEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.7.2.1		not-accessible	An entry for a stack layer in a protocol stack installed and (possibly) running on this host system.

CAR xcmCommsStackXrefHrCommDevIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.7.2.1.8	Cardinal32	read-only	The value of 'hrDeviceIndex' corresponding to the directly associated conceptual rows in the 'hrDeviceTable' and (possibly) 'hrNetworkTable' of the Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790), or zero if the position of this stack layer is NOT 'bottom' (ie, this stack layer does NOT represent a physical 'network interface'). Usage: Note that for 'hrDeviceModem', 'hrDeviceSerialPort', and 'hrDeviceParallelPort' devices, there is NO corresponding entry in the 'hrNetworkTable', a subtle difference between MIB-II (RFC 1213) and the Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790).
CAR xcmCommsStackXrefHrSWInsIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.7.2.1.6	Cardinal32	read-only	The value of 'hrSWInstalledIndex' corresponding to the directly associated conceptual row in the 'hrSWInstalledTable' of the Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790), or zero if 'hrSWInstalledTable' is NOT implemented.

CAR xcmCommsStackXrefIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.7.2.1.7	Cardinal32	read-only	The value of 'ifIndex' corresponding to the directly associated conceptual row in the 'ifTable' (Interfaces Group) of the MIB-II (RFC 1213), or zero if the position of this stack layer is NOT 'bottom' (ie, this stack layer does NOT represent a physical 'network interface'). Usage: This is partially a convenience object, since given the value of 'hrDeviceIndex' for an 'hrDeviceNetwork' type device, the corresponding 'ifIndex' is found in the mandatory entry in the 'hrNetworkTable'. However, note that for 'hrDeviceModem', 'hrDeviceSerialPort', and 'hrDeviceParallelPort' devices, the 'xcmCommsStackXrefIfIndex' object is a NECESSITY for support of this communications engine MIB.
