Description: Provides Xyplex extended character port management objects for serial terminal server interfaces.

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 XYPLEX-CHARACTER1-MIB?

This Xyplex enterprise MIB supports the company's terminal server/communication server product line, providing extended "character mode" port-management objects for serial terminal interfaces. It models per-port configuration such as terminal type, flow control, and session parameters associated with each async serial port on the terminal server. Its monitoring value is largely in confirming per-port software configuration and session status — whether a given serial port is correctly configured for its attached terminal or modem and whether it is currently in active use — rather than performance counters. It is a proprietary extension alongside the base Xyplex system MIB, with no direct standards-based counterpart. It is deployed on legacy Xyplex terminal servers used for console/dial-in access aggregation in enterprise data centers and campus networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the XYPLEX-CHARACTER1-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XYPLEX-CHARACTER1-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

  • Xyplex terminal server / communication server

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were available in this MIB source. In general, an administrator would poll the per-port character-mode configuration to confirm terminal type and flow-control settings for a given serial line. Such a check would typically reveal a port misconfigured for the wrong terminal emulation or a flow-control mismatch causing garbled sessions.

What Can Be Monitored

  • serial port terminal type configuration
  • flow control settings
  • per-port session parameters
