Description: Extends host resources management for Xerox XCMI devices with additional storage and processor objects.

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-HOST-RESOURCES-EXT-MIB?

XEROX-HOST-RESOURCES-EXT-MIB is a Xerox enterprise MIB that extends the standard IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790) with additional objects for managing physical and logical device realization on Xerox network printers and multifunction devices, consistent with the Document Printing Application (DPA) standard. It exposes data on storage devices, general device/system information, filesystem inventory, and running/installed software, layered on top of the base host-resources object classes. This MIB is squarely aimed at monitoring hardware and software status: it tracks the version and date of the last storage, device, filesystem, and software-run/installed table updates via objects like xcmHrGeneralStorageLast and xcmHrGeneralSWRunLast, letting management stations detect when a printer's internal inventory has changed. It explicitly depends on and augments RFC 2790 (Host Resources MIB), reusing its storage, device, and software-running table semantics rather than reinventing them. It is deployed on Xerox network printers and MFPs where administrators need finer-grained visibility into printer hardware/software inventory than the base Host Resources MIB alone provides. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the XEROX-HOST-RESOURCES-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEROX-HOST-RESOURCES-EXT-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 printers
  • Xerox multifunction devices (MFPs)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll the xcmHrGeneralTable (xcmHrGeneralEntry, indexed by xcmHrGeneralIndex) and watch xcmHrGeneralSWInstalledLast and xcmHrGeneralSWRunLast for counter changes signaling that new firmware or a new running process was installed or started on the printer since the last poll. Comparing xcmHrGeneralStorageLast against a previous poll reveals whether a storage device such as a hard disk or memory card was added, removed, or resized. The xcmHrGeneralVersionID and xcmHrGeneralVersionDate objects let a monitoring tool confirm which revision of the extended host-resources schema the printer is running before parsing its tables.

What Can Be Monitored

  • printer storage device inventory changes
  • installed/running software version tracking
  • filesystem table update status
  • device realization info (physical/logical)
  • host-resources extension schema version

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using xcmHrDevTrafficInputCount OID:

Select a Xerox network printers, Xerox multifunction device (MFPs) (extended host-resources inventory-update 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 xcmHrDevTrafficInputCount 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 device input traffic count, used by system administrators and end users of this device. 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.
