Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch VRRPv3 MIB for managing IPv4/IPv6 virtual router redundancy groups and priority settings.

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-VRRP3-MIB?

This MIB is Alcatel's (now Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise) enterprise-specific extension for managing VRRPv3 (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol version 3) on OmniSwitch switches and routers, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 redundancy groups. It exposes operational state data for VRRP instances, including virtual router IDs, virtual MAC addresses, priority values, IP address counts, and master router IP addresses, plus statistics and notification controls. It is used primarily to monitor the software status of redundant gateway configurations - an admin checks operational vs admin state, current priority, and master/backup role to confirm high-availability gateway failover is functioning correctly, rather than tracking physical hardware sensors like temperature. It builds on and extends standard IETF VRRP MIB concepts (RFC 2787/5798) with Alcatel-specific combined IPv4/IPv6 objects. It is typically deployed on Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch campus and data-center switches used for gateway redundancy. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-VRRP3-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-VRRP3-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 Enterprise OmniSwitch switches and routers

Monitoring Examples

An admin polls alaVrrp3OperTable/alaVrrp3OperEntry for a given alaVrrp3OperVrId to read alaVrrp3OperState and alaVrrp3OperAdminState, confirming whether a switch is Master or Backup for a virtual router. Monitoring alaVrrp3OperPriority and alaVrrp3OperMasterIpAddrType helps detect unexpected priority changes or master-role transitions caused by a link or peer failure. alaVrrp3NotificationCntl governs whether traps fire on state transitions, and alaVrrp3Statistics provides counters useful for spotting flapping VRRP instances.

What Can Be Monitored

VRRP operational/admin state
virtual router priority
virtual MAC address
master IP address
IP address count per VRRP instance
VRRP notification/trap control

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alaVrrp3RouterChecksumErrors 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 alaVrrp3RouterChecksumErrors into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of VRRP packets received with an invalid VRRP checksum value. 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.

alaVrrp3Operations	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1
INT alaVrrp3NotificationCntl	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Indicates whether the VRRP-enabled router will generate SNMP traps for events defined in this MIB. 'Enabled' results in SNMP traps; 'disabled', no traps are sent.
alaVrrp3OperTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2		not-accessible	Unified Operations table for a VRRP router which consists of a sequence (i.e., one or more conceptual rows) of 'alaVrrp3OperEntry' items.
alaVrrp3OperEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1		not-accessible	An entry in the alaVrrp3OperTable containing the operational characteristics of a virtual router. On a VRRP router, a given virtual router is identified by a combination of the IP version, VRID, and ifIndex. Note that rows in this table can be distinguished on a Multi-stacked device running both VRRP over IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. Rows in the table cannot be modified unless the value of 'alaVrrp3OperAdminState' is 'disabled' and the 'alaVrrp3OperState' has transitioned to 'initialize'
INT alaVrrp3OperIpVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.1	INTEGER	not-accessible	This object contains the IP version on which this VRRP instance is running.
VRI alaVrrp3OperVrId	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.2	VrId	not-accessible	This object contains the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID).
MAC alaVrrp3OperVirtualMacAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.3	MacAddress	read-only	The virtual MAC address of the virtual router. Although this object can be derived from the 'alaVrrp3OperVrId' object, it is defined so that it is easily obtainable by a management application and can be included in VRRP-related SNMP traps.
INT alaVrrp3OperState	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	The current state of the virtual router. This object has three defined values: - `initialize', which indicates that the virtual router is waiting for a startup event. - `backup', which indicates the virtual router is monitoring the availability of the master router. - `master', which indicates that the virtual router is forwarding packets for IP addresses that are associated with this router. Setting the `alaVrrp3OperAdminState' object (below) Initiates transitions in the value of this object.
INT alaVrrp3OperAdminState	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.5	INTEGER	read-create	This object will enable/disable the virtual router function. Setting the value to `up', will transition the state of the virtual router from `initialize' to `backup' or `master', depending on the value of `alaVrrp3OperPriority'. Setting the value to `down', will transition the router from `master' or `backup' to `initialize'. State transitions may not be immediate; they sometimes depend on other factors, such as the interface (IF) state. The `alaVrrp3OperAdminState' object must be set to `down' prior to modifying the other read-create objects in the conceptual row. The value of the alaVrrp3OperRowStatus' object (below) must be `active', signifying that the conceptual row is valid (i.e., the objects are correctly set), in order for this object to be set to `up'.
I32 alaVrrp3OperPriority	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.6	Integer32	read-create	This object specifies the priority to be used for the virtual router master election process. Higher values imply higher priority. A priority of '0', although not settable, is sent by the master router to indicate that this router has ceased to participate in VRRP and a backup virtual router should transition to become a new master. A priority of 255 is used for the router that owns the associated IP address(es).
INT alaVrrp3OperVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.7	INTEGER	read-only	This object contains the VRRP version this VRRP instance is running.
I32 alaVrrp3OperIpAddrCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.8	Integer32	read-only	The number of IP addresses associated with this virtual router. This number is equal to the number of rows in the alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrTable that correspond to a given combination of IP version, VRID, and ifIndex.
IPt alaVrrp3OperMasterIpAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.9	InetAddressType	read-only	This specifies the type of alaVrrp3OperMasterIpAddr in this row.
IP alaVrrp3OperMasterIpAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.10	InetAddress	read-only	The master router's real (primary for vrrp over IPv4) IP address. This is the IP address listed as the source in the advertisement last received by this virtual router. For IPv6, a link local address.
IPt alaVrrp3OperPrimaryIpAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.11	InetAddressType	read-only	This specifies the the type of alaVrrp3OperPrimaryIpAddr in this row.
IP alaVrrp3OperPrimaryIpAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.12	InetAddress	read-only	For VRRP over IPv6 this is the link local address for a given ifIndex. For VRRP over IPv4, in the case where there is more than one IP address for a given `ifIndex', this object is used to specify the IP address that will become the alaVrrp3OperMasterIpAddr', should the virtual router transition from backup to master.
I32 alaVrrp3OperAdvInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.13	Integer32	read-create	The time interval, in centiseconds, between sending advertisement messages. Only the master router sends VRRP advertisements.
T/F alaVrrp3OperPreemptMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.14	TruthValue	read-create	Controls whether a higher priority virtual router will preempt a lower priority master.
T/F alaVrrp3OperAcceptMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.15	TruthValue	read-create	Controls whether a virtual router in the master state will accept packets addressed to the address owner's IPv6 address as its own it it is not the IP address owner. This is required only for rows indicating VRRP over IPv6. This object can be sparse and should not be implemented for rows indicating VRRP for Ipv4.
TIM alaVrrp3OperUpTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.16	TimeStamp	read-only	This is the value of the `sysUpTime' object when this virtual router (i.e., the `alaVrrp3OperState') transitioned out of `initialized'.
ROW alaVrrp3OperRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.2.1.17	RowStatus	read-create	The row status variable, used in accordance to installation and removal conventions for conceptual rows. The rowstatus of a currently active row in the alaVrrp3OperTable is constrained by the operational state of the corresponding virtual router. When `alaVrrp3OperRowStatus' is set to active(1), no other objects in the conceptual row, with the exception of `alaVrrp3OperAdminState', can be modified. Prior to setting the `alaVrrp3OperRowStatus' object from `active' to a different value, the `alaVrrp3OperAdminState' object must be set to `down' and the `alaVrrp3OperState' object be transitioned to `initialize'. To create a row in this table, a manager sets this object to either createAndGo(4) or createAndWait(5). Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the `alaVrrp3OperRowStatus' column will be read as notReady(3). In particular, a newly created row cannot be made active(1) until (minimally) the corresponding instance of `alaVrrp3OperVrId' has been set and there is at least one active row in the `alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrTable' defining an associated IP address for the virtual router.
alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.3		not-accessible	The table of addresses associated with this virtual router.
alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.3.1		not-accessible	An entry in the table contains an IP address that is associated with a virtual router. The number of rows for a given IP version, VrId, and ifIndex will equal the number of IP addresses associated (e.g., backed up) by the virtual router (equivalent to 'alaVrrp3OperIpAddrCount'). Rows in the table cannot be modified unless the value of `alaVrrp3OperAdminState' is `disabled' and the `alaVrrp3OperState' has transitioned to`initialize'.
IPt alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.3.1.1	InetAddressType	not-accessible	The IP addresses type of alaVrrp3AssoIpAddr in this row.
IP alaVrrp3AssoIpAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.3.1.2	InetAddress	not-accessible	The assigned IP addresses that a virtual router is responsible for backing up.
ROW alaVrrp3AssoIpAddrRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.3.1.3	RowStatus	read-create	The row status variable, used according to installation and removal conventions for conceptual rows. Setting this object to active(1) or createAndGo(4) results in the addition of an associated address for a virtual router. Destroying the entry or setting it to notInService(2) removes the associated address from the virtual router. The use of other values is implementation-dependent.
INT alaVrrp3TrapNewMasterReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.4	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	This indicates the reason for NewMaster trap. Used by alaVrrp3TrapNewMaster trap.
INT alaVrrp3TrapProtoErrReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.801.1.2.1.28.2.1.5	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	This indicates the reason for protocol error trap. Used by alaVrrp3TrapProtoError trap.
