What Is EXTREME-EAPS-MIB?
EXTREME-EAPS-MIB is an Extreme Networks vendor MIB for Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS), a ring-topology fault-tolerance protocol used to achieve sub-second failover on Ethernet rings built from Extreme switches. It exposes configuration and status data about EAPS domains, ring ports, and protection-switching state, letting administrators see which ring segments are active or in a failed/blocked state. Its principal monitoring value is fault/status oriented: it lets an operator determine whether a ring domain is in its normal state or has failed over due to a link/node failure, effectively fault monitoring for the ring topology rather than general hardware sensors like temperature or CPU. It is an Extreme-specific extension built on top of standard Ethernet/VLAN concepts rather than a formal IETF ring-protection standard. It is typically deployed on Extreme switches forming resilient Ethernet rings in metro or campus network backbones. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the EXTREME-EAPS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EXTREME-EAPS-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- EAPS domain/ring status
- ring failover/protection state
Supported Devices
- Extreme Networks Ethernet switch (ring/backbone deployment)
Monitoring Examples
No specific object/table names were available in the provided extract for this MIB, so a concrete table-level scenario cannot be built without inventing names not present. Based on its stated purpose, an administrator would generally poll EAPS domain status objects to determine whether a ring is in a healthy "complete" state or a "failed" state, with a state change indicating a link or node failure in the protected ring requiring investigation.
