Description: Altiga (Cisco VPN 3000) load balancing and session state failover statistics MIB for cluster performance monitoring.

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 ALTIGA-LBSSF-STATS-MIB?

This MIB, from Altiga Networks (later Cisco's VPN 3000 Concentrator line), models Load Balancing and Secure Session Failover (LBSSF) statistics for clusters of VPN concentrators. It exposes data on cluster role, device type, active/standby state, peer counts, current load, and a peer table listing each cluster member's private/public IP addresses and active status. It is used to monitor the software/cluster health status of the VPN concentrator cluster - whether a device is active or standby, its current load relative to peers, and whether all expected peers are present and reachable, which reveals failover or load-imbalance conditions. It depends on the underlying Altiga MIB root/capabilities structure (ALTIGA-CAP) for its object hierarchy. It's typically deployed on clusters of Altiga/Cisco VPN 3000 concentrators providing high-availability, load-balanced remote-access VPN termination. Engineers can download the ALTIGA-LBSSF-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTIGA-LBSSF-STATS-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

Altiga Networks / Cisco VPN 3000 series VPN concentrator clusters

Monitoring Examples

An admin polls alLBSSFRole and alLBSSFActive to determine whether a given concentrator is currently the active cluster member, and alLBSSFLoad to compare load distribution across peers. The alLBSSFPeerTable/alLBSSFPeerEntry rows, keyed by peer index, expose alLBSSFPeerPrivIpAddress, alLBSSFPeerPubIpAddress, and alLBSSFPeerActive, letting an admin confirm all expected cluster peers are online and correctly mapped; a peer showing as inactive or a mismatched alLBSSFNumberOfPeers count would indicate a failed cluster member or split-brain condition.

What Can Be Monitored

cluster role (active/standby)
current load
number of cluster peers
peer private/public IP addresses
peer active status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alLBSSFNumberOfPeers OID:

Select a Cisco (Altiga) VPN 3000 Series Concentrator (legacy) 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 alLBSSFNumberOfPeers into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of total current peers. 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 Gauge32-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.
