What is vismSessionSetSwitchFails?

This read-only Counter32 tracks the accumulated number of failed attempts to switch between session groups within a session set. An admin cares because a rising count of switch failures indicates the redundancy mechanism is not reliably failing over between groups when needed, undermining fault tolerance. For example, an operator seeing this counter increase after a series of MGC outages would investigate why the standby session group repeatedly failed to take over.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.5.5.11.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VISM-SESSION-MIB::vismSessionSetSwitchFails

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.5.5.11.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VISM-SESSION-MIB::vismSessionSetSwitchFails.1

Start monitoring Cisco VISM (Voice Interworking Service Module) card, MGX platform (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-VISM-SESSION-MIB::vismSessionSetSwitchFails OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco VISM (Voice Interworking Service Module) card, MGX platform (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco VISM (Voice Interworking Service Module) card, MGX platform (legacy) 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 vismSessionSetSwitchFails 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 accumulated number of failed attempts to 'switch' between session groups in this session set. 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.
