What Is DVMRP-MIB?

DVMRP-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards MIB for managing routers running the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), a legacy dense-mode IP multicast routing protocol. It exposes routing-category data: the DVMRP implementation version, generation ID, route counts, per-interface configuration and operational state, and neighbor/tunnel addressing, along with a dedicated traps group for protocol events. Its monitoring value is centered on software/protocol status rather than physical hardware -- dvmrpInterfaceOperState reveals whether a multicast-enabled interface is functioning, dvmrpReachableRoutes and dvmrpNumRoutes indicate the health and scale of the multicast routing table, and dvmrpTraps notify on state changes such as neighbor loss. It is a self-contained routing protocol MIB but is typically deployed alongside the standard IGMP-MIB and multicast MIB family that provide adjacent group-membership context. It is typically deployed on legacy multicast-capable routers, as defined by the DVMRP-MIB RFC, in networks still running DVMRP for multicast backbone connectivity (largely superseded by PIM in modern networks).

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DVMRP-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DVMRP interface operational state
  • reachable route count
  • total route count
  • neighbor/tunnel addressing
  • generation ID
  • DVMRP version

Supported Devices

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • multicast-capable routers running DVMRP

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll dvmrpInterfaceTable (via dvmrpInterfaceEntry, indexed by dvmrpInterfaceIfIndex) to check dvmrpInterfaceOperState and dvmrpInterfaceType, confirming a tunnel or physical interface is operationally up for multicast forwarding. Watching dvmrpReachableRoutes against dvmrpNumRoutes over time would reveal a sudden drop in reachable multicast routes, indicating a neighbor or tunnel failure, while dvmrpGenerationId changing unexpectedly would flag a router restart or protocol resynchronization event surfaced via dvmrpTraps.
