Description: Broadcom FastPath private MIB for IPv4 routing configuration including ARP, OSPF, RIP, and VRRP parameters on FastPath switches.

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 FASTPATH-ROUTING-MIB?

FASTPATH-ROUTING-MIB is Broadcom's private MIB for IPv4 routing configuration on switches running the FastPath switching software, covering protocols such as ARP, OSPF, RIP, and VRRP. It is intended to expose configuration and status parameters for these routing features, including neighbor/adjacency information and protocol-specific tuning parameters. As a monitoring tool it would primarily support verifying routing protocol operational status and configuration correctness, which reflects the software/control-plane health of the device's routing stack rather than physical hardware; however, no sample object names were available for this module in the provided source. It builds on and interoperates with standard IETF routing MIBs (OSPF-MIB, RIP, VRRP-MIB) as its scope description directly names those protocols. It is deployed on Layer 3 managed switches built on Broadcom's FastPath switching stack wherever IPv4 routing, VRRP redundancy, or dynamic routing protocols are enabled. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the FASTPATH-ROUTING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-ROUTING-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.

Monitoring Examples

No object/table names were provided for this module, so a concrete polling scenario cannot be grounded in specific OIDs here; based on its stated scope, it would typically expose per-protocol status tables for ARP entries, OSPF neighbor/interface state, RIP routes, and VRRP virtual router status, which an operator would poll to confirm routing adjacencies are up and VRRP failover is functioning as configured.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentDhcpClientMsgsReceived OID:

Select a Broadcom FastPath-based Ethernet switch (multi-vendor OEM) (IPv4 routing: OSPF/RIP/VRRP) 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 agentDhcpClientMsgsReceived into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The Number of DHCP Requests Received. Total number of DHCP requests received from all clients. 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 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.
