bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions

Module: FORE-BRIDGE-MIB

OID (symbolic): FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.3.1.10

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state.

What is bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions?

This Counter32 tallies how many times this ATM port has transitioned from the STP Learning state into the Forwarding state. Because each transition typically follows a spanning-tree recalculation, a rapidly climbing counter signals topology instability such as flapping links or a misbehaving neighbor bridge. An admin noticing this counter jump by dozens of increments within a few minutes would investigate the port's physical link and neighboring STP configuration for the cause.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.3.1.10
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.8.2.3.1.10.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions.1

Start monitoring Fore Systems ForeRunner ASX ATM switch (Ethernet bridging/spanning-tree over ATM) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the FORE-BRIDGE-MIB::bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Fore Systems ForeRunner ASX ATM switch (Ethernet bridging/spanning-tree over ATM) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Fore Systems ForeRunner ASX ATM switch (Ethernet bridging/spanning-tree over ATM) 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 bridgeStpAtmPortForwardTransitions 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 number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state. 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.
