Description: Monitors Xyplex Ethernet interface statistics, collision rates, and MAC-level error counters.

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-ETHERNET-MIB?

XYPLEX-ETHERNET-MIB is a Xyplex enterprise MIB, Xyplex having made terminal servers and network hubs later part of iTouch/Global Village, for monitoring Ethernet interface health on Xyplex networking equipment. It exposes interface-level statistics including collision rates and MAC-layer error counters alongside basic interface status. Its primary use is monitoring hardware status of the Ethernet interface: administrators poll rising collision or MAC error counts to detect a failing NIC, bad cabling, or a duplex mismatch on the segment. It complements the standard IETF Ethernet-like Interfaces MIB (RFC 1643/2665) rather than replacing it, adding Xyplex-specific detail. It is deployed on Xyplex terminal servers and network devices where Ethernet-segment health needs close monitoring in legacy enterprise LANs, and administrators can still obtain an XYPLEX-ETHERNET-MIB download to load the module into their MIB browser.

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

An operator would poll the Ethernet interface's collision-rate counter and MAC-level error counters over successive intervals to detect a sudden spike, typically pointing to a duplex mismatch or a failing cable/transceiver on that segment. Comparing collision rates across multiple Xyplex-attached segments would help isolate which physical link is degraded. Because no sample objects were captured for this MIB, exact object names cannot be confirmed beyond what the short description indicates.

What Can Be Monitored

MAC-layer error counters

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
CTR etherAlignmentErrors	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.1.1.2	Counter	read-only	A count of frames received on a particular interface that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS check.
etherEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.1.1		not-accessible	Generic status and parameter values for an Ethernet interface.
CTR etherFCSErrors	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.1.1.3	Counter	read-only	A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an integral number of octets in length that do not pass the FCS check.
INT etherIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	An index value that uniquely identifies an Ethernet interface. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex.
CTR etherMulticastBytesIn	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.3.1.2	Counter	read-only	A count of frames successfully received on a particular interface and for which the destination address multicast bit was set. Bytes that are counted by an instance of this object are also counted by the corresponding instance of the ifInOctets object.
CTR etherMulticastBytesOut	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.3.1.3	Counter	read-only	A count of successfully frames successfully transmitted on a particular interface and for which the destination address multicast bit was set. Bytes that are counted by an instance of this object are also counted by the corresponding instance of the ifOutOctets object.
etherMulticastEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.3.1		not-accessible	EtherMulticast status and parameter values for an Ethernet interface.
INT etherMulticastIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.3.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	An index value that uniquely identifies an Ethernet interface. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex.

INT etherTxIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	An index value that uniquely identifies an Ethernet interface. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex.
CTR etherTxMultipleCollisionFrames	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.2.1.3	Counter	read-only	A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts or ifOutNUcastPkts object and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the etherTxSingleCollisionFrames object.
CTR etherTxSingleCollisionFrames	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.11.2.1.2	Counter	read-only	A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts or ifOutNUcastPkts object and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the etherTxMultipleCollisionFrames object.
