ALCATEL-IND1-GLOBALROUTETABLE-MIB

Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch global route table MIB providing a unified view of all protocol routes across VRF instances.

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.

ALCATEL-IND1-GLOBALROUTETABLE-MIB is Alcatel's proprietary OmniSwitch MIB providing a single unified view of routes learned or configured across all VRF instances and routing protocols on the switch. It exposes a global route table with destination, mask length, next hop, metric, route tag, and the owning VRF name plus an ISID for service-instance tagging, consolidating what would otherwise require querying per-protocol or per-VRF MIBs separately. Its monitoring value is primarily configuration/state visibility into the routing table's contents and health — confirming expected routes are present in the correct VRF and haven't been displaced by a conflicting route or protocol flap — rather than hardware status. It complements standard routing MIBs like the IETF IP-FORWARD-MIB by adding a VRF-aware, cross-protocol aggregated view that those standards-based MIBs don't provide alone. It's deployed on Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch platforms running multiple VRFs, such as multi-tenant or service-provider edge deployments. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-GLOBALROUTETABLE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

A network engineer would poll alaGrtRouteTable, indexed in part by alaGrtRouteVrfName, alaGrtRouteDest, and alaGrtRouteMaskLen, to confirm a specific customer route exists with the expected alaGrtRouteNextHop and alaGrtRouteMetric within a given VRF. alaGrtRouteTag helps identify which routing process (static, OSPF, BGP) originated a route when troubleshooting a routing loop or unexpected path. A route missing from this table for a VRF that should have it typically indicates a route redistribution or VRF leaking misconfiguration.
