Description: Manages Layer 2 VPN service instances including VPWS and VPLS circuits on Ericsson routers.

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-L2VPN-MIB?

ERICSSON-ROUTER-L2VPN-MIB manages Layer 2 VPN and MPLS pseudowire (PW) services -- including VPWS and VPLS circuits -- on Ericsson SmartEdge/SM/SSR routers. It exposes static pseudowire configuration and cross-connect state, including labels, peer addresses, circuit handles, EXP bits, and flags indicating whether the input circuit and cross-connect are up. This is primarily a service/software-status MIB: eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticInputCctUp and eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticXcFlags let an operator confirm whether a specific pseudowire's circuit and cross-connect are operationally up, and eriRouterMplsL2VpnNotificationEnable/eriRouterMplsL2VpnMIBNotifications support trap-based alerting on PW state changes. It builds on MPLS L2VPN/pseudowire concepts (labels, cross-connects) analogous to the IETF PW-related MIBs, though it's an Ericsson-specific implementation. It's deployed in carrier/MPLS backbone networks where Ericsson routers provide L2VPN transport (e.g., Ethernet-over-MPLS) for enterprise or metro Ethernet services. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-L2VPN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-L2VPN-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

  • Ericsson SmartEdge Multi-service Edge Router (MSER)
  • Ericsson SM Metro Ethernet Service Transport platform
  • Ericsson Smart Service Router (SSR)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticTable/eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticEntry, indexed by eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticInLabel and eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticPeerAddr, checking eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticInputCctUp to confirm a pseudowire circuit is operationally active. A circuit whose eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticXcFlags indicates the cross-connect is down, correlated with eriRouterMplsL2VpnStaticVpnCctHandle, points to a specific VPN cross-connect failure that needs investigation, and a resulting trap from eriRouterMplsL2VpnMIBNotifications alerts the NOC in real time.

What Can Be Monitored

  • pseudowire cross-connect status
  • input circuit up/down state
  • pseudowire in-label
  • peer address
  • circuit handle
  • L2VPN notification enable state
