Description: Declares Ericsson router agent capabilities for the IETF OSPF MIB (RFC 4750).
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 ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-OSPF-CAP?
ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-OSPF-CAP is an Ericsson vendor MIB of AGENT-CAPABILITIES statements describing how the standard IETF OSPF-MIB (RFC 4750) is implemented on Ericsson SmartEdge (SE), SM, and Smart Service Router (SSR) platforms. Rather than defining new managed objects, it maps out which OSPF-MIB tables, scalars, and groups a particular Ericsson SEOS release actually supports for OSPF routing protocol management. Its monitoring relevance is that it governs which OSPF neighbor state, link-state database, and interface objects a management station can reliably poll to track routing protocol software health on the router. It is explicitly dependent on the standard IETF OSPF-MIB whose conformance it documents, tying Ericsson's implementation back to that RFC. It is used by network operations teams validating OSPF SNMP monitoring coverage before deploying routing-protocol dashboards against Ericsson router platforms. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-OSPF-CAP file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-OSPF-CAP. 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
- Ericsson SmartEdge (SE) Multi-service Edge Router
- Ericsson SM Metro Ethernet platform
- Ericsson Smart Service Router (SSR)
Monitoring Examples
A management system consults this capabilities MIB to confirm that ospfNbrTable and ospfIfTable from the standard OSPF-MIB are supported on a given SEOS version before building OSPF neighbor-adjacency and interface-state dashboards for SE or SSR routers. This prevents polling failures when older or lower-tier platform variants lack full OSPF-MIB coverage. Since the MIB itself carries no runtime OIDs of its own, its practical value is entirely in confirming which parts of the standard OSPF object model are safe to monitor on a specific Ericsson router.
What Can Be Monitored
- supported OSPF-MIB object groups
- OSPF neighbor/interface monitoring coverage
- platform/SEOS version conformance
