Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch Bidirectional Forwarding Detection MIB for fast link failure detection on routed 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 ALCATEL-IND1-BFD-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-BFD-MIB is an Alcatel-Lucent proprietary MIB implementing BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection), a lightweight protocol for fast failure detection between adjacent routers. Its global objects cover version number, admin status, transmit/receive intervals, detect multiplier, echo-receive interval, and which protocols use BFD, while a per-interface table records address type/address, admin status, desired min-transmit/required min-receive/echo-receive intervals, detect multiplier, authentication presence/type, interface name, operational status, and row status, and a session table tracks each BFD session's discriminator. As a configuration/protocol-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm BFD timers are tuned aggressively enough for the required failure-detection speed and audit session state. It is deployed on Alcatel-Lucent (OmniSwitch) routers using BFD. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-BFD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-BFD-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

Alcatel-Lucent (OmniSwitch) routers (BFD)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks alaBfdIntfDesiredMinTxInterval and alaBfdIntfReqMinRxInterval to confirm BFD timers are tuned aggressively enough for sub-second failure detection on an Alcatel-Lucent router.

What Can Be Monitored

BFD interface timer configuration and session state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alaBfdSessPerfPktIn OID:

Select an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch switch 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 alaBfdSessPerfPktIn 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. The total number of BFD packets received for this BFD session. 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 Counter64-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.
