Description: Manages VXLAN and NVO network virtualization overlay tunnels and VNI mappings on Cisco data center devices.

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-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB?

CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB is a Cisco Systems proprietary MIB managing Network Virtualization Overlay functionality — NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnels terminated by a Network Virtualization Endpoint (NVE) — used to build virtual network overlays across a physical fabric. Its NVE table configures the encapsulation type, source interface, and configured VNI (virtual network identifier) per instance, alongside a related virtual-network (VNet) table. As a configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm an NVE instance's encapsulation type and VNI mapping when troubleshooting an overlay-network connectivity issue. It is deployed on Cisco switches/routers acting as NVGRE network virtualization endpoints. Engineers can download the CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-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 switches/routers acting as NVGRE network virtualization endpoints

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks cnvoNvoEncapType and cnvoNvoConfiguredVni for an NVE instance to confirm the overlay tunnel's encapsulation and VNI mapping match the expected virtual network configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • NVE encapsulation type and configured VNI

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cnvoVNetOutUnicastPackets OID:

Select a Cisco switches/routers acting as NVGRE endpoint 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 cnvoVNetOutUnicastPackets 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. This object indicates the total number of unicast packets transmitted out of this virtual network. 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.
