etsysVrrpExtOperState

Module: ENTERASYS-VRRP-EXT-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-VRRP-EXT-MIB::etsysVrrpExtOperState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.64.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The current state of the virtual router. This object has six defined values

- `initialize', which indicates that all the virtual router is waiting for a startup event.

- `backup', which indicates the virtual router is monitoring the availability of the master router.

- `master', which indicates that the virtual router is forwarding packets for IP addresses that are associated with this router.

- 'ifDown', which indicates that the interface the virtual router is configured on is operationally down.

- 'preemptDelay', which indiciates that the virtual router is going to transition to master once the preempt delay timer has expired.

What is etsysVrrpExtOperState?

This enumerated value reports the current state of a VRRP virtual router: initialize (waiting for a startup event), backup (monitoring the master's availability), master (actively forwarding for the virtual router's IP addresses), ifDown (the underlying interface is operationally down), or preemptDelay (waiting for the preempt delay timer before becoming master). An admin monitors it to know which router in a VRRP group is currently handling traffic and whether a failover is underway. For example, a router unexpectedly stuck in preemptDelay rather than transitioning to master would prompt an admin to check the configured preempt delay timer.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.64.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-VRRP-EXT-MIB::etsysVrrpExtOperState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.64.1.1.1.2.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Enterasys Networks switch/router (VRRP extensions) 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 etsysVrrpExtOperState 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 current state of the virtual router — initialize, backup, master, ifDown, or preemptDelay. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is 'ifDown', or it changes between initialize/backup/master unexpectedly, since which role is correct for this VRRP router depends on your redundancy configuration and an unplanned change often indicates a failover. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
