Description: Manages multicast filtering and IGMP snooping on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet 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 CIENA-CES-MCAST-FILTER-MIB?

CIENA-CES-MCAST-FILTER-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Ciena for its Carrier Ethernet Switching (CES) product line, covering IGMP-based multicast traffic control at Layer 2. It defines IGMP snooping and multicast filtering objects that let an operator see and control which ports and VLANs are permitted to forward specific multicast groups. Though primarily a configuration MIB, it supports monitoring by exposing filter state, letting an operator confirm whether IGMP snooping/filtering policy is correctly enforced on an interface and catch stale or misconfigured filter entries that could cause multicast leakage or traffic loss. It builds on the standard IGMP protocol model and is typically used alongside vendor bridge/VLAN MIBs and industry-standard multicast MIBs for a complete picture. It is deployed in Carrier Ethernet access/aggregation networks using Ciena CES switches for IPTV or other multicast-sensitive services. Engineers can download the CIENA-CES-MCAST-FILTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-MCAST-FILTER-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

  • Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll the module's per-interface/VLAN multicast filter entries to confirm which IGMP groups are permitted or blocked, checking for mismatches between provisioned policy and enforced state. A missing or incorrectly scoped filter entry would reveal a misconfiguration allowing unauthorized multicast access or blocking legitimate IPTV traffic.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IGMP snooping status
  • multicast filter table entries
  • per-port/per-VLAN multicast group permissions
