Description: Manages virtual router instances and VRF (VPN Routing and Forwarding) configuration on ARRIS/Cadant CMTS platforms.

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 CADANT-VIRTUAL-ROUTER-MIB?

CADANT-VIRTUAL-ROUTER-MIB is an ARRIS (formerly Cadant) vendor MIB for the C4 CMTS platform, covering virtual routing/VRF configuration used to segment IP routing domains on cable head-end access equipment. It exposes tables for naming and indexing virtual router instances, per-VR routing-protocol enable flags (OSPF, RIP), and administrative/row-status controls for creating, modifying, or deleting VR instances. This MIB is used mainly to monitor configuration and operational status rather than performance counters: confirming which virtual routers are provisioned, whether their row status is active, and which routing protocols are enabled on each VR, which is effectively software-configuration state monitoring for the CMTS's routing subsystem. It naturally depends on and works alongside standard IETF routing MIBs (e.g., OSPF-MIB, RIPv2-MIB) since it primarily toggles those protocols per virtual instance rather than reimplementing routing logic. It is deployed in MSO head-end/hub facilities on ARRIS/Cadant C4 CMTS chassis supporting multi-tenant or segmented cable IP routing. Engineers can download the CADANT-VIRTUAL-ROUTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CADANT-VIRTUAL-ROUTER-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

  • ARRIS/Cadant C4 CMTS
  • DOCSIS cable headend equipment

Monitoring Examples

An operator walks cadVrNameTable to enumerate configured virtual routers by cadVrNameVrIndex and cadVrName, then checks cadVrTable's cadVrOspfEnabled and cadVrRipEnabled flags to confirm the expected routing protocol is active for a given VR, and cadVrRowStatus/cadVrScmAccessEnabled to verify the instance is administratively up and reachable via the shelf controller module. If a VR's cadVrRowStatus shows notInService while its cadVrOspfEnabled is set, that flags a provisioning inconsistency preventing routing from actually running on that segment. cadVrGlobalStatus provides a top-level rollup an admin would check first before drilling into individual VR entries.

What Can Be Monitored

  • virtual router names and indices
  • VR row/administrative status
  • OSPF enabled per VR
  • RIP enabled per VR
  • SCM access enabled
  • global VR status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cadVrGlobalStatusIcmpUnreachablesDropped OID:

Select an ARRIS/Cadant C4/E6000 CMT (cable modem termination system) 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 cadVrGlobalStatusIcmpUnreachablesDropped into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of ICMP unreachable packets dropped. 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.
