cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan

Module: CISCO-IETF-PW-ENET-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-IETF-PW-ENET-MIB::cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.108.1.3.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets received (from the PSN) on this VC with an illegal VLAN field, missing VLAN field that was expected, or A VLAN field when it was not expected. This counter is not relevant if the VC type is 'ethernet' (i.e. raw mode), and should be set to 0 by the agent to indicate this.

What is cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan?

This is the number of packets received from the PSN on this VC with an illegal VLAN field, a missing VLAN field that was expected, or a VLAN field when none was expected; this counter is not relevant if the VC type is raw-mode ethernet, in which case the agent should set it to 0. A climbing count here on a VLAN-aware VC is a direct sign that frames arriving from the far end do not match the VLAN-tagging expectations configured for this VC, pointing at a VLAN-mode mismatch between the two PE routers terminating the pseudowire; on a raw-mode VC this counter always reads 0 since VLAN handling does not apply there at all. For example, this counter steadily incrementing on a VC configured for noChange VLAN mode would suggest the remote PE is sending untagged frames when this end expects the original customer VLAN tag to still be present.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.108.1.3.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IETF-PW-ENET-MIB::cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.108.1.3.1.1.1

Start monitoring Cisco provider-edge router (Ethernet pseudowire/L2VPN) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-IETF-PW-ENET-MIB::cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco provider-edge router (Ethernet pseudowire/L2VPN) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco provider-edge router (Ethernet pseudowire/L2VPN) 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 cpwVcEnetStatsIllegalVlan 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 number of packets received (from the PSN) on this VC with an illegal VLAN field, missing VLAN field that was expected, or A VLAN field when it was not expected. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
