What Is XYPLEX-SYSTEM-MIB?

XYPLEX-SYSTEM-MIB MIB is a legacy vendor MIB from Xyplex (a terminal server/network access equipment maker later part of iTouch/MRV) covering system-level management objects for its devices. Based on its stated purpose it reports hardware status, software version, and resource utilization for the device. This places clear emphasis on monitoring both hardware health and software identification — tracking whether onboard hardware components are functioning correctly, confirming the running firmware/software version, and observing resource usage (such as memory or CPU) that might indicate an overloaded unit. As a proprietary system MIB it likely stands largely on its own, though it may share conventions with Xyplex's broader terminal-server MIB family. It would have been deployed on Xyplex terminal servers and network access units in legacy enterprise dial-up/terminal networking environments.

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

What Can Be Monitored

  • hardware status
  • software version
  • resource utilization (CPU/memory)

Supported Devices

  • Xyplex terminal servers/network access equipment

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object or table names were supplied for this module, so a specific polling example cannot be grounded in real object names; based on the stated purpose, likely candidates would be hardware-status, software-version, and resource-utilization objects, but this cannot be confirmed without the underlying object list.

OCT sysTimeZone1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.4OCTET STRINGread-writeThe adjustment to apply to a universal (Greenwich) time received when down-line loaded, comprising two octets. The first octet is the number of hours west of universal, the second is the number of minutes. Corresponds directly to SERVER TIMEZONE and the value labeled 'Timezone:' in the SERVER CHARACTERISTICS display.
STR sysLoadSoftware1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.5DisplayStringread-writeThe software file name to request for down-line load of the server. Corresponds directly to SERVER SOFTWARE, and the value labeled 'Software:' in the SERVER CHARACTERISTICS display.

OCT sysMaintenancePassword1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.7OCTET STRINGread-writeThe password a management system must supply to force the system to reboot or use the system's remote console via the Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP). Corresponds directly to SERVER MAINTENANCE PASSWORD. When setting this value, the management system must supply eight octets, filling with zeros from the first octet. That is, the value '1ab42' would be expressed as '0.0.0.0.0.1.ab.42'. Setting the value to zero disables the password check. When returning this value, the agent always returns a zero length OCTET STRING.
STR sysLocalName1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.8DisplayStringread-writeThe system's local name. Corresponds directly to SERVER NAME and the value labeled 'Name:' in the SERVER CHARACTERISTICS display.

INT sysCrash1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.16INTEGERread-writeControl to cause this system to crash. In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value. Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'execute' causes an immediate crash. Corresponds to the CRASH command.
INT sysInitialize1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.17INTEGERread-writeControl to cause this system to reset its software to initial load values, typically by reloading. When executing an initialize command, the system observes the value of sysInitializeDelay as supplied anywhere in the same set request with sysInitialize. If this value is not included in the set request, the system uses its default value. In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value. Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'conditionalExecute' causes initialization if the overall system state is acceptible (such as not needing to store permanent parameters). Setting it to 'unconditionalExecute' causes initialization regardless of the overall system state. Setting it to 'cancel' aborts an initialization that has not yet started. According to standard SNMP operation, if the system is not in a proper state to accept a given set request for this value, it returns the standard SNMP error 'badValue'. Corresponds to the INITIALIZE command.
INT sysInitializeDelay1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.18INTEGERread-writeThe number of minutes to delay before beginning the system initialization process as executed with sysInitialize. This value cannot be set outside a set-request that contains the value 'execute' for sysInitialize. If not included in such a set, the default value is 1.

INT sysZeroAll1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.19INTEGERread-writeControl to zero all counters. In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value. Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'execute' causes all the system's counters to be zeroed. Corresponds to the ZERO ALL command.
INT sysZeroBase1.3.6.1.4.1.33.1.20INTEGERread-writeControl to zero all base counters. In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value. Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'execute' causes all the system's base counters to be zeroed. Examples of counters that are zeroed are the SNMP counters or the counters from the SYSTEM COUNTERS display. Examples of counters that are not zeroed are Ethernet interface counters or port counters. Corresponds to the ZERO SYSTEM command.

FAQ

What is XYPLEX-SYSTEM-MIB used for when monitoring legacy Xyplex terminal servers?
It reports system-level hardware status, the running software version, and resource utilization, letting admins confirm a Xyplex terminal server's components are functioning correctly and identify which firmware it's running.

How would I detect an overloaded Xyplex terminal server using this MIB?
By polling the resource utilization objects covering CPU and memory usage, an admin can spot a Xyplex unit whose resource consumption is unusually high, signaling it may be overloaded and at risk of degraded terminal service.
