Description: Manages Cabletron IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping, group membership, and multicast filtering.

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 CTRON-IGMP-MIB?

CTRON-IGMP-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB for managing IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping, multicast group membership, and multicast filtering on Cabletron switches, as stated in its module description covering IGMP configuration under the Cabletron enterprise OID. It exposes per-VLAN IGMP configuration (query interval, querier state, protocol version, max response time) as well as global defaults and statistics counters for group table usage. For monitoring it lets an operator check whether a VLAN currently has an active IGMP querier, confirm the configured query interval and version match expectations, and watch statistics/group-table-full-action objects to catch when the multicast group table is overflowing, which would explain dropped multicast streams rather than any CPU/temperature issue. It operates as a Cabletron-specific extension layered on top of the standard IGMP protocol (RFC 2236/3376) rather than the IETF IGMP MIB directly. It is deployed on Cabletron/Enterasys Layer 2/3 switches supporting IGMP snooping in multicast-heavy environments such as video distribution networks, and administrators can perform a CTRON-IGMP-MIB download to load these objects into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-IGMP-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

  • Cabletron/Enterasys Layer 2/3 switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ctIGMPVlanTable/ctIGMPVlanEntry indexed by ctIGMPVlanId to check ctIGMPVlanQuerier and ctIGMPVlanStatus, confirming a VLAN has an active querier and correct ctIGMPVlanVersion and ctIGMPVlanQueryInterval settings. The ctIGMPStatsCntrs counters would be watched to detect abnormal group join/leave rates, and ctIGMPConfigGroupTblFullAction combined with ctIGMPNewDefaultState would be checked when multicast group table exhaustion is suspected, since the configured full-table action determines whether new joins are dropped or an old entry is evicted. A VLAN missing a querier (ctIGMPVlanQuerier absent or query interval mismatched) would indicate multicast traffic may not be properly pruned to only interested ports.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-VLAN IGMP querier presence
  • IGMP protocol version per VLAN
  • query interval and max response time
  • multicast group table full-action/state
  • IGMP statistics counters

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ctIGMPStatsCntrsNumV1QueriesSent OID:

Select a Cabletron/Enterasys Layer 2/3 switch (IGMP snooping) 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 ctIGMPStatsCntrsNumV1QueriesSent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of IGMP Version 1 queries this device has sent out. 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.
