Category: Routing Protocols, Vendor: Avaya

Description: Extends OSPF protocol configuration with Avaya/Nortel ERS-specific route redistribution and area parameters.

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 BAY-STACK-OSPF-EXT-MIB?

BAY-STACK-OSPF-EXT-MIB is a Nortel/Avaya (Bay Networks lineage) extension to the standard OSPF MIB, adding vendor-specific route-redistribution and per-interface OSPF configuration parameters for Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS)/BayStack platforms. It exposes objects for route-redistribution control, hardware-compatibility mode, and an extended OSPF interface table covering settings like MD5 authentication keys, MTU-ignore behavior, and 'advertise when down' behavior, plus a message-digest key table and notifications. Its monitoring role is configuration/protocol-state oriented: administrators check whether OSPF interfaces are configured consistently (authentication, MTU handling) across the network and watch bsoeNotifications for routing-relevant events, rather than reading physical hardware sensors. It explicitly extends and depends on the standard OSPF-MIB, reusing its interface indexing (bsoeOspfIfIpAddress/bsoeOspfAddressLessIf mirror OSPF-MIB conventions). It is deployed on Nortel/Avaya BayStack and Ethernet Routing Switch platforms running OSPF in enterprise or carrier LAN/WAN environments. Engineers can download the BAY-STACK-OSPF-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BAY-STACK-OSPF-EXT-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 check bsoeOspfIfExtTable/bsoeOspfIfExtEntry entries, keyed by bsoeOspfIfIpAddress/bsoeOspfAddressLessIf, for bsoeOspfIfExtMtuIgnore and bsoeOspfIfExtType to confirm two adjacent routers agree on MTU handling and interface type, since a mismatch here is a classic cause of OSPF adjacency flapping. Checking bsoeOspfIfExtPrimaryMd5Key against bsoeMessageDigestTable confirms authentication keys are consistent, and unexpected bsoeNotifications traps would flag a redistribution or adjacency change worth investigating.

What Can Be Monitored

OSPF interface extended configuration (MTU-ignore, type)
MD5 authentication key consistency
route redistribution settings
OSPF-related trap notifications

bsoeObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1
bsoeScalars	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.1
INT bsoeApplyRedistribute	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to implement the ospf 'ip ospf apply redistribute' command when the 'bgp\|direct\|rip\|static' parameter is used. Setting it will cause the 'apply' to occur for the specified protocol. The value returned is always none(0).
INT bsoeHardwareCompatibilityMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to set the 5510 hardware compatilibity mode.
bsoeOspfIfExtTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2		not-accessible	Extensions to the ospfIfTable from RFC 1850.
bsoeOspfIfExtEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1		not-accessible	A set of objects that augments the ospfIfTable. There will be an entry in this table for each entry in the ospfIfTable.
IP bsoeOspfIfIpAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.1	IpAddress	not-accessible	The IP address of this OSPF interface.
I32 bsoeOspfAddressLessIf	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.2	Integer32	not-accessible	For the purpose of easing the instancing of addressed and addressless interfaces; This variable takes the value 0 on interfaces with IP Addresses, and the corresponding value of ifIndex for interfaces having no IP Address.
T/F bsoeOspfIfExtAdvertiseWhenDown	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.3	TruthValue	read-write	Equivalent to rcIpConfAdvertiseWhenDown (allows this flag to be accessed by interface IP rather than by ifIndex).
I32 bsoeOspfIfExtPrimaryMd5Key	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.4	Integer32	read-write	Primary key, if it exists. If there are no keys present, this object will be 0.
T/F bsoeOspfIfExtMtuIgnore	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.5	TruthValue	read-write	Indicates whether to ignore mtu checking in ospf bdb.
INT bsoeOspfIfExtType	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.2.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	This object is an extension to the standard object ospfIfType. When the value of this object is other(1), then the type of the interface is given by ospfIfType. Otherwise, the value of this object indicates the type of the interface, and the value of ospfIfType is invalid. In the latter case, an implementation may simply not return the corresponding instance of ospfIfType.

The value of bsoeMessageDigestKey must be set before a row can be made active. There are no restrictions on setting the value of bsoeMessageDigestKey while a row is active.

ARE bsoeOspfVirtIfExtAreaId	1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.14.1.5.1.1	AreaID	not-accessible	The Transit Area that the Virtual Link traverses. By definition, this is not 0.0.0.0
