Description: Extreme Networks MIB for managing Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS/G.8032) on Extreme switch platforms.

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 EXTREME-ERPS-MIB?

EXTREME-ERPS-MIB is an Extreme Networks vendor MIB implementing management objects for Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS, ITU-T G.8032), a standardized ring-topology resilience protocol for Ethernet networks. It exposes configuration data for protected VLANs per ERPS domain, ring topology definitions (including east/west ring ports and the Ring Protection Link/RPL port), monitoring entries, ring statistics, and global ERPS state, along with a dedicated notification/trap subtree. It supports monitoring of link/hardware status by tracking whether ring ports are in their normal forwarding state or have failed over to protect against a link/node fault, essentially fault monitoring of the ring rather than sensor-style hardware health. It implements the ITU-T G.8032 ERPS standard on Extreme's switch platforms, making it dependent on that external ring-protection specification for its underlying protocol semantics. It is typically deployed on Extreme switches forming resilient Ethernet rings in metro Ethernet or industrial network backbones. Engineers can download the EXTREME-ERPS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EXTREME-ERPS-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

  • Extreme Networks Ethernet switch (ring/metro backbone deployment)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll extremeErpsRingTable/extremeErpsRingEntry to check extremeErpsRingEast, extremeErpsRingWest, and extremeErpsRingRplPort for a given extremeErpsRingName/extremeErpsRingVlanId, confirming the ring ports and protection link are correctly configured. extremeErpsProtectedVlanTable/extremeErpsProtectedVlanEntry would be checked via extremeErpsProtectedVlanId to confirm which VLANs are covered by ring protection. A change in ring state reported through extremeErpsNotifications/extremeErpsTraps would indicate a break in the ring requiring the RPL port to unblock as part of failover.

What Can Be Monitored

  • protected VLAN membership
  • ring east/west port state
  • ring protection link (RPL) port
  • ring/domain global status
  • ERPS trap/notification events

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using extremeErpsGlobalMulticastTemporaryFloodingDuration OID:

Select an Extreme Networks Ethernet switch, ring/metro backbone (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS) 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 extremeErpsGlobalMulticastTemporaryFloodingDuration into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the duration of Multicast Temporary Flooding on the switch. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reported value exceeds the level expected for healthy operation, since sustained high temperature often precedes thermal shutdown or hardware degradation. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
