Description: Elfiq Networks load balancing module MIB for configuring and monitoring multi-WAN link load balancing and traffic distribution.

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 ELFIQ-MODULE-LB-MIB?

ELFIQ-MODULE-LB-MIB is Elfiq Networks' vendor MIB for their link balancer appliances, which distribute and monitor traffic across multiple WAN links for redundancy and load balancing. It exposes configuration and identity data for each virtual failover interface (VFI) alongside real-time throughput counters and packet statistics for the balanced links. It supports monitoring both configuration status and live performance: vfiActivated/vfiStatus reveal whether a given WAN link/interface is enabled and operational, while totThroughputIn/totThroughputOut, topTotThroughputIn/topTotThroughputOut, and numPackReceivedOut provide ongoing bandwidth and packet-level performance metrics used to detect a failed or degraded WAN link. It is largely a self-contained vendor MIB, though it parallels typical interface/throughput MIB conventions like IF-MIB. It is typically deployed at branch or data center network edges where Elfiq link balancers manage multiple ISP/WAN connections for high availability. Engineers can download the ELFIQ-MODULE-LB-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ELFIQ-MODULE-LB-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

  • Elfiq Networks link balancer appliances

Monitoring Examples

vfiTable/vfiEntry with vfiIndex, vfiDescr, and vfiStatus let an admin confirm which virtual failover interfaces, representing WAN links, are activated and operational. totThroughputIn and totThroughputOut give current aggregate bandwidth usage, while topTotThroughputIn/topTotThroughputOut track peak throughput, helping spot a saturated WAN link before it causes packet loss. numPackReceivedOut, alongside the gmacInfo and arpInfo branches, supports deeper diagnostics of packet flow and address resolution issues on a specific link within the load-balanced group.

What Can Be Monitored

  • WAN link/interface activation status
  • virtual failover interface status
  • inbound/outbound throughput
  • peak throughput
  • packets received

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using totThroughputIn OID:

Select an Elfiq Networks link balancer appliance 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 totThroughputIn 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 is the total incoming throughput for this vfi (all gmacs) in kb/s. 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 Counter64-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.
