Description: Provides management objects for monitoring GTPv2-C (GTP version 2 control plane) used in LTE/EPC networks on Cisco mobile gateway 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 CISCO-GTPV2-MIB?

CISCO-GTPV2-MIB manages GTPv2-C (GTP version 2, control plane) statistics used in the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) of LTE mobile networks, specifically on the Serving Gateway (SGW) and PGW elements that anchor mobility and enforce IP policy for mobile devices. It exposes detailed per-message-type request statistics such as session and bearer create/modify/update/delete counts, along with dropped signaling message and change-notification counters. This is fundamentally a protocol-performance/fault MIB for the mobile core control plane, letting an operator monitor whether session/bearer setup and teardown signaling is succeeding at expected rates or whether dropped/reserved-value messages indicate a signaling problem between SGW/PGW peers. It depends on 3GPP's GTPv2 specification for the EPC architecture rather than an IETF MIB draft. It is deployed on Cisco SGW/PGW mobile gateway platforms in LTE/EPC mobile operator networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-GTPV2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-GTPV2-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

  • Cisco SGW/PGW LTE/EPC mobile gateway platforms

Monitoring Examples

An operator can poll cGtpv2ReqMsgStatsTable/cGtpv2ReqMsgStatsEntry to break down cGtpv2CreateSessReqs, cGtpv2CreateBearerReqs, and cGtpv2DeleteBearerReqs by cGtpv2MsgReqAction, spotting a spike in delete-bearer requests that could indicate mass subscriber disconnects. Rising cGtpv2DroppedSigMsgs or cGtpv2ReservedValueIeMsgs would point to malformed or unsupported signaling messages arriving from a peer SGW/PGW, a sign of interoperability or software version mismatch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • session create/delete request counts
  • bearer create/modify/update/delete request counts
  • dropped signaling message count
  • reserved-value IE message count
  • change notification request count

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cGtpv2DroppedSigMsgs OID:

Select a Cisco SGW/PGW LTE/EPC mobile gateway platform 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 cGtpv2DroppedSigMsgs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object represents the total number of GTPv2 control plane messages dropped by the gateway. 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.
