Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch PIM-SM/DM multicast routing MIB for managing PIM interfaces, neighbors, and multicast trees.

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-PIM-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-PIM-MIB is a proprietary Alcatel-Lucent enterprise MIB for the OmniSwitch (Birds Of Prey) product line that manages IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast configuration, covering both sparse mode (PIM-SM) and dense mode (PIM-DM). It exposes configuration data such as administrative status, rendezvous point (RP) settings, shortest-path-tree (SPT) switchover policy, and bidirectional PIM parameters, rather than raw hardware sensor data. Administrators use it to monitor and control the operational/software state of the multicast routing process on the switch, including whether PIM-SM/PIM-DM/bidir features are enabled, RP thresholds, and probe/periodic timer intervals that affect protocol convergence and neighbor health. It builds on standard multicast routing concepts alongside IETF PIM MIBs but adds Alcatel-specific extensions not found in vendor-neutral standards. It is typically deployed on OmniSwitch chassis and stackable switches running multicast routing in enterprise or campus networks. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-PIM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-PIM-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 alaPimsmAdminStatus and alaPimsmV6AdminStatus to confirm PIM-SM is active for IPv4 and IPv6, and check alaPimsmMaxRPs together with alaPimsmRPThreshold to verify rendezvous point capacity and switchover behavior. Watching alaPimsmProbeTime and alaPimsmBidirPeriodicInterval helps detect abnormal neighbor timeout or DF election churn, while alaPimsmBidirDFAbort flags failed designated-forwarder elections in bidirectional PIM groups. Objects under alaPimdmGlobalConfig let an admin confirm PIM-DM is configured consistently alongside PIM-SM on the same box.

What Can Be Monitored

PIM-SM/PIM-DM admin status
IPv6 PIM admin status
rendezvous point threshold and max RPs
SPT switchover configuration
bidirectional PIM DF abort events
PIM probe/periodic timers

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alaPimsmNonBidirHelloMsgsRcvd 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 alaPimsmNonBidirHelloMsgsRcvd into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of PIM Hello messages that have been received by a BIDIR-capable device that do not have the Bidirectional Capable option. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

I32 alaPimsmProbeTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.3	Integer32	read-write	When NULL Registers are used, this is the time between sending a NULL Register and the Register- Suppression-Timer expiring unless it is restarted by receiving a Register-Stop.
INT alaPimsmOldRegisterMessageSupport	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the application of the checksum function on received Register messages in the PIM-SM domain. When set to full(2), the checksum for a register message is computed for the entire packet (i.e. includes data). When set to header(1), the checksum is done only on the first 8 bytes of the packet. This variable is provided for interoperability reasons and may be required for Compatibility with older implementations of PIM-SM v2. This parameter must be set the same throughout the PIM-SM domain.
INT alaPimsmAdminSPTConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	Administratively enables/disables SPT Switchover upon receiving the first data packet.
I32 alaPimsmRPThreshold	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.6	Integer32	read-write	Sets the RP threshold value (in bps) to be used in determining when to switch to native forwarding at the RP. The value of 0 disables the RP Threshold functionality.

INT alaPimsmV6RPSwitchover	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-write	Administratively enables/disables whether PIM IPv6 will attempt to switch to native forwarding at the RP upon receiving the first register-encapsulated packet.
INT alaPimsmBidirStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.10	INTEGER	read-only	Administratively enables/disables the PIM BIDIR protocol on this router.
I32 alaPimsmBidirPeriodicInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.11	Integer32	read-write	This is the interval at which the DF for each RPA will periodically announce its status in a Winner message. A value of 0 indicates that periodic messages will not be sent.
INT alaPimsmBidirDFAbort	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.12	INTEGER	read-write	Administratively enables/disables whether the DF election will be automatically aborted if a PIM hello is received from a PIM neighbor without the bidirectional capable option. By default, the DF election will still occur among those PIM routers that support BIDIR. By enabling this option, if a BIDIR- capable router receives a PIM hello from a non-BIDIR-capable router, the DF election is aborted.
U32 alaPimsmNonBidirHelloPeriod	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.13	Unsigned32	read-write	The minimum time that must elapse between alaPimNonBidirHello notifications originated by this router. The default value of 65535 represents an 'infinite' time, in which case, no alaPimNonBidirHello notifications are ever sent. The non-zero minimum allowed value provides resilience against propagation of denial-of-service attacks from the control plane to the network management plane.
C32 alaPimsmNonBidirHelloMsgsRcvdEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.14	Counter32	read-only	The number of PIM Hello messages that have been received by a BIDIR-capable device that do not have the Bidirectional Capable option. This counter is incremented if BIDIR mode is enabled on this router and a PIM Hello message is received from a PIM neighbor that does not include the Bidirectional Capable option. By default, the reception of these messages will not effect the BIDIR DF election. The alaPimsmBidirDFAbort object may be used to change the default behavior and have the DF election aborted whenever a BIDIR-capable router receives a PIM hello from a non-BIDIR-capable router.
IPt alaPimsmNonBidirHelloAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.1.15	InetAddressType	read-only	The address type stored in alaPimsmNonBidirHelloOrigin. If no Non Bidir Hello messages have been received, this object is set to unknown(0).

IPt alaPimdmDenseGroupAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.2.5.1.1	InetAddressType	not-accessible	The address type of this entry.
IP alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.2.5.1.2	InetAddress	not-accessible	The multicast group address that, when combined with alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpPrefixLength, gives the group prefix for this entry. The InetAddressType is given by the alaPimdmDenseGroupAddressType object. This address object is only significant up to alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpPrefixLength bits. The remainder of the address bits are zero. This is especially important for this index field, which is part of the index of this entry. Any non-zero bits would signify an entirely different entry.
ADR alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpPrefixLength	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.2.5.1.3	InetAddressPrefixLength	not-accessible	The multicast group prefix length that, when combined with alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpAddress, gives the group prefix for this entry. The InetAddressType is given by the alaPimdmDenseGroupAddressType object. If alaPimdmDenseGroupAddressType is 'ipv4' or 'ipv4z', this object must be in the range 4..32. If alaPimdmDenseGroupGrpAddressType is 'ipv6' or 'ipv6z', this object must be in the range 8..128.

If this object is TRUE, then it will override: - RP information learned dynamically for groups in this group prefix. - RP information configured in alaPimdmDenseGroupTable with alaPimdmDenseGroupOverrideDynamic set to FALSE. See pimGroupMappingTable for details.
U32 alaPimdmDenseGroupPrecedence	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.2.5.1.5	Unsigned32	read-create	The value for pimGroupMappingPrecedence to be used for this static RP configuration. This allows fine control over which configuration is overridden by this static configuration. If alaPimdmDenseGroupOverrideDynamic is set to TRUE, all dynamic RP configuration is overridden by this static configuration, whatever the value of this object. The absolute values of this object have a significance only on the local router and do not need to be coordinated with other routers. A setting of this object may have different effects when applied to other routers. Do not use this object unless fine control of static RP behavior on the local router is required.
ROW alaPimdmDenseGroupRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.2.5.1.6	RowStatus	read-create	The status of this row, by which rows in this table can be created and destroyed. All writeable objects in this entry can be modified when the status of this entry is active(1).

INT alaPimBfdAllInterfaceStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.3.2	INTEGER	read-only	Administratively enables/disables BFD for all PIM interfaces on this router.
INT alaPimMoFRRStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.3.3	INTEGER	read-write	Administratively enables/disables MoFRR (Multicast only Fast Re-Route) on this router.
INT alaPimMoFRRAllRouteStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.3.4	INTEGER	read-write	By default, MoFRR is only applied to multicast routes that have local clients. Enabling alaPimMoFRRAllRouteStatus will enable MoFRR on all routes whether there are local clients or not. alaPimMoFRRStatus must be enabled for this to take effect.
alaPimInterfaceAugTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.3.5		not-accessible	Expansion for pimInterfaceTable
alaPimInterfaceAugEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.10.6.1.1.3.5.1		not-accessible	An entry of alaPimInterfaceAugTable
