xcmCommsTrafficInputCount

Module: XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB

OID (symbolic): XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsTrafficInputCount

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.12.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A layer input traffic count, used by system administrators and end users of this layer.

Usage: Although no default value ('DEFVAL' clause) is permitted (by IETF SMIv2) for this counter, conforming host systems SHALL zero this counter upon conceptual row creation.

What is xcmCommsTrafficInputCount?

This OID counts the input traffic for this stack layer, in the units given by xcmCommsTrafficInputUnit; it's zeroed when the row is created. An admin graphs this alongside xcmCommsTrafficOutputCount to see traffic volume through a specific protocol layer.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.12.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsTrafficInputCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.61.12.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsTrafficInputCount.1

Start monitoring Xerox network printer/host with XCMI support (live comms-engine protocol-stack runtime status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the XEROX-COMMS-ENGINE-MIB::xcmCommsTrafficInputCount OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Xerox network printer/host with XCMI support (live comms-engine protocol-stack runtime status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

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.
