Description: Implements the IETF VRRP draft v7 MIB for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol configuration and status.

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-IETF-VRRP-07-MIB?

CISCO-IETF-VRRP-07-MIB implements the IETF VRRPv3 draft (version 07) MIB for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 first-hop router redundancy on Cisco routers and switches. It exposes per-interface VRRP instance data including virtual router ID, priority, operational state, virtual MAC address, and master/primary IP addresses. This is directly useful for monitoring the operational status of redundant gateway routers, since c07vrrpOperationsState transitioning away from Master or Backup as expected, or an unexpected change in c07vrrpOperationsMasterIpAddr, signals a failover event or misconfiguration in the redundancy group. It is based on the IETF VRRP MIB draft and works alongside interface and IP address MIBs to fully identify the protected interface. It is typically deployed at the network edge or core wherever gateway redundancy is required for high availability. Engineers can download the CISCO-IETF-VRRP-07-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-IETF-VRRP-07-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 routers
  • Cisco Layer 3 switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator polls c07vrrpOperationsTable (c07vrrpOperationsEntry, indexed by c07vrrpOperationsVrId) for c07vrrpOperationsState and c07vrrpOperationsPriority to confirm the expected router is currently Master; a lower-priority router unexpectedly reporting Master state indicates the primary router has failed or lost connectivity. Checking c07vrrpOperationsMasterIpAddr against c07vrrpOperationsPrimaryIpAddr confirms whether failover has occurred, and c07vrrpOperationsAddrCount verifies all expected virtual addresses are still associated with the group. c07vrrpStatistics counters help confirm whether the transition was triggered by a genuine fault or a flapping condition.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VRRP instance state (master/backup)
  • instance priority
  • master and primary IP addresses
  • virtual MAC address
  • virtual address count
  • VRRP statistics/notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using c07vrrpRouterChecksumErrors OID:

Select a Cisco routers / Layer 3 switch (VRRPv3) 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 c07vrrpRouterChecksumErrors into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of VRRP packets received with an invalid VRRP checksum value. 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.
