Description: Juniper Networks automatic protection switching (APS) configuration and switchover status for SONET.

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 APS-MIB-JUNI?

APS-MIB-JUNI is a Juniper Networks proprietary MIB (built on the IETF AToMMIB Working Group's SONET APS specification, derived from GR-253-CORE and ITU-T G.783) configuring SONET linear APS (Automatic Protection Switching) groups. Its config table, keyed by group name, records row status, mode, revert flag, direction, extra-traffic flag, SD/SF BER thresholds, wait-to-restore time, and creation time, while a status table records received/transmitted K1/K2 bytes, current channel, mode/channel mismatch counts, PSBF (Protection Switching Byte Failure) and FEPLF (Far-End Protection Line Failure) counts, and switched channel. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm SONET APS group protection state and switch history on a Juniper router. It is deployed on Juniper Networks SONET-interface routers. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the APS-MIB-JUNI RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in APS-MIB-JUNI. 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

  • Juniper Networks SONET-interface routers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks junidApsStatusCurrent and junidApsStatusPSBFs to confirm SONET APS protection-switch state on a Juniper router.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using junidApsStatusModeMismatches OID:

Select a Juniper Networks SONET-interface router 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 junidApsStatusModeMismatches 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. It reports a count of Mode Mismatch conditions. 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 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.
