Description: Manages QinQ double-tagged VLAN configurations and service VLAN encapsulation 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-STACKEDVLAN-MIB?

ERICSSON-ROUTER-STACKEDVLAN-MIB manages stacked (QinQ, double-tagged) VLAN interfaces used for service-provider VLAN encapsulation on Ericsson SmartEdge/SM/SSR routers. It exposes aggregate traffic statistics per stacked-VLAN interface, including high-capacity counters for inbound and outbound octets and unicast/multicast/broadcast packets. This supports performance monitoring of Layer 2 service tunnels, letting an operator spot traffic drops, unexpected asymmetry between in/out counters, or a service VLAN carrying no traffic at all. It builds on the concept of 802.1Q/802.1ad VLAN stacking defined in IEEE standards. It is deployed in carrier Ethernet access/aggregation networks providing QinQ-based multi-tenant services. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-STACKEDVLAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-STACKEDVLAN-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/SM/SSR routers
carrier Ethernet aggregation switches

Monitoring Examples

eriRouterStackedVlanAggrStatsTable/eriRouterStackedVlanAggrStatsEntry, indexed by eriRouterStackedVlanIndex, report high-capacity counters like eriRouterStackedVlanHCInOctets, eriRouterStackedVlanHCOutOctets, and the associated unicast/multicast/broadcast packet counts. An operator polling these per stacked VLAN can detect a sudden drop in HCInOctets indicating an upstream service outage, or a spike in broadcast packets suggesting a loop within that service VLAN.

What Can Be Monitored

stacked/QinQ VLAN index
inbound/outbound octet counters
unicast/multicast/broadcast packet counts
per-VLAN traffic statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using eriRouterStackedVlanHCInOctets OID:

Select an Ericsson SmartEdge/SM/SSR router (Redback Networks heritage) (stacked/QinQ VLAN traffic statistics) 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 eriRouterStackedVlanHCInOctets 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 aggregate of the total number of octets received on each outer vlan and its inner vlans, including framing characters. 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.
