Description: Manages Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) configuration and status on Cisco CBS series small business switches.

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 CBS-VRRP-MIB?

CBS-VRRP-MIB is a Crossbeam Systems (XOS) proprietary MIB, despite its "CBS" naming sometimes seen paired with Cisco small-business switches, that defines trap objects for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) failover-group events on Crossbeam X-Series security/application processing platforms. Its content is almost entirely notification-oriented, covering new-master election events, protocol errors, and failover-group status/priority transitions rather than static configuration tables. In monitoring terms it is squarely a fault/event-monitoring MIB: it reports when a VRRP failover group changes master (and why), when protocol errors occur, and when a group's operational status or priority changes, which together indicate the software-level high-availability health of the redundancy configuration. It depends conceptually on the standard VRRP protocol (RFC 3768) whose failover semantics it mirrors in vendor-specific trap form. It is typically deployed in Crossbeam XOS-based security/networking appliances configured in VRRP high-availability pairs or clusters. Engineers can download the CBS-VRRP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CBS-VRRP-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

  • Crossbeam XOS security/networking appliances

Monitoring Examples

A monitoring system would subscribe to cbsVrrpTrapNewMasterReason and cbsVrrpTrapNewMasterVrId/cbsVrrpTrapNewMasterFailGrName traps to detect unplanned VRRP master transitions and identify which failover group and virtual router ID were affected. cbsVrrpTrapFailGrOldStatus/cbsVrrpTrapFailGrNewStatus paired with cbsVrrpTrapFailGrStatusChgReason reveal why a failover group's operational status changed, while cbsVrrpTrapFailGrOldPriority/cbsVrrpTrapFailGrNewPriority combined with cbsVrrpTrapFailGrPriorityChgReason would flag an unexpected priority demotion that could trigger an undesired master handover. Repeated cbsVrrpTrapProtoErrReason notifications would point to a VRRP protocol misconfiguration or version mismatch between redundant peers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VRRP new-master election reason
  • failover group status transitions
  • failover group priority changes
  • VRRP protocol error reason
  • affected virtual router ID/failover group name

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cbsVrrpRemoteBoxPathLinkQuality OID:

Select a Crossbeam Systems XOS security/networking appliance 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 cbsVrrpRemoteBoxPathLinkQuality 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. The link quality of the remote box path. 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 value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
