Description: Manages REP (Resilient Ethernet Protocol) ring segment topology and failure recovery on Cisco 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 CISCO-RESILIENT-ETHERNET-PROTOCOL-MIB?

CISCO-RESILIENT-ETHERNET-PROTOCOL-MIB manages Cisco's Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), a proprietary alternative to Spanning Tree Protocol that controls loops and speeds failure recovery within a ring or segment of switch ports. It exposes segment-level configuration (which two interfaces form the endpoints of a segment, preemption settings) and per-interface REP configuration, along with a notification branch for REP-related events and conformance groups. Its monitoring value is fault/topology-oriented: administrators check crepSegmentComplete to confirm a REP segment/ring is fully formed with no breaks, monitor crepSegmentPreemptStatus to see if manual or automatic preemption has altered the ring's blocking point, and rely on ciscoRepMIBNotifs traps to be alerted immediately to link failures or topology changes within the segment, which is critical since REP is often used for fast failover in place of STP. It depends on the standard IF-MIB ifIndex convention (crepIfIndex) to map REP configuration to physical interfaces. It is typically deployed on Cisco switches in ring topologies such as industrial, metro, or access-ring networks requiring sub-second failover. Network engineers researching Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) ring topology reference this MIB to monitor segment/port state via SNMP.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-RESILIENT-ETHERNET-PROTOCOL-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 configured for Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) rings

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll crepSegmentTable / crepSegmentEntry keyed by crepSegmentId to check crepSegmentComplete, confirming the ring formed by crepSegmentInterface1 and crepSegmentInterface2 has no break, and check crepSegmentPreemptStatus for the current preemption state. A segment where crepSegmentComplete flips to false, especially accompanied by a ciscoRepMIBNotifs trap, indicates a link failure in the ring that triggered REP's failover mechanism.

What Can Be Monitored

  • REP segment completeness (ring integrity)
  • segment endpoint interfaces
  • preemption configuration and status
  • per-interface REP segment membership
  • REP topology-change notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using crepLslRxPdus OID:

Select a Cisco switches configured for Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) 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 crepLslRxPdus 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 number of link status layer PDUs received on the port. 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 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.
