Description: Manages Cabletron LFAP (Lightweight Flow Accounting Protocol) flow collection and traffic accounting configuration.

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-LFAP-MIB?

CTRON-LFAP-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB (RFC 2124) implementing the Light-weight Flow Admission Protocol (LFAP), a policy-based flow-admission mechanism used with Cabletron's SecureFast switching architecture. It exposes a global flow-policy control and status, the currently active policy server, a table of configured policy server addresses, and statistics on flow-admission-request (FAR) messages sent. As a configuration/protocol-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which policy server is currently active and monitor FAR message volume as an indicator of flow-admission activity. It is deployed on Cabletron SecureFast switches using LFAP-based flow admission. Engineers can download the CTRON-LFAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-LFAP-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 Systems SecureFast switches (LFAP flow admission)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks flowPolicyActiveServer to confirm which policy server a SecureFast switch is currently using for flow admission decisions, and monitors monLfapFARsSent to gauge flow-setup request volume.

What Can Be Monitored

active flow-policy server
flow-admission-request (FAR) message counts

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using monLfapFARsSent OID:

Select a Cabletron SecureFast switch (LFAP flow admission) 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 monLfapFARsSent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object contains the number of LFAP FARs sent from the flow control entity (CCE). 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.

PHY flowPolicyActiveServer	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.3	PhysAddress	read-only	This object reflects the IP address of the remote policy server currently being used.
flowPolicyConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.6
INT flowPolicyConfigPolicy	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.6.1	INTEGER	read-only	This object indicates whether or not the CCE supports connection policy. A value of available(1) indicates that connection policy support is available from this CCE. A value of unavailable(2) indicates that this CCE is incapable of supporting connection policy.
INT flowPolicyConfigStatistics	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.6.2	INTEGER	read-only	This object indicates whether or not the CCE supports connection statistics. A value of available(1) indicates that connection statistics are supported from this CCE. A value of unavailable(2) indicates that this CCE is incapable of supporting connection statistics.
INT flowPolicyControl	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object allows flow policy to be enabled or disabled on each switch. Setting this object to disable(1) disables flow policy functionality on the switch. Setting this object to enable(2) enables the flow policy function.
flowPolicyPolling	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.3
I32 flowPolicyPollingBatchInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.3.3	Integer32	read-only	This object contains the current number of milliseconds between statistics polling batches. A polling period is divided into polling batches, the duration between which is calculated by dividing the value of flowPolicyPollingTimerInterval times 60,000 by the number of batches. The number of polling batches is calculated by dividing the actual number of connections by the value of flowPolicyPollingBatchSize. Between batches, the statistics polling mechanism pauses this number of milliseconds.

INT flowPolicyStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.11.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This object gives the status of flow policy processing on each switch. The value of disabled(1) indicates that the flow policy function has been totally disabled. The value of enabled(2) indicates that the flow policy functions have been enabled and is searching for a policy server. The value of active(3) indicates that the flow policy function is fully operational. The value of error(4) indicates that the flow policy function has experienced some fatal error and has disabled itself.
