Description: Brocade Foundry IP VRRP MIB providing Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol configuration and state management for FastIron router redundancy.

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 FOUNDRY-SN-IP-VRRP-MIB?

FOUNDRY-SN-IP-VRRP-MIB is a Brocade Communications (originally Foundry Networks) vendor-specific MIB under the FOUNDRY-SN-ROOT-MIB router subtree that configures and monitors both standard VRRP and Foundry's VRRP-Extended (VRRPE) protocol for FastIron/NetIron router redundancy. Its current, ifIndex-based tables - snVrrpIf2Table for interface authentication settings and error counters, and snVrrpVirRtr2Table for virtual-router configuration - track ownership (owner/backup), configured/track/current priority, hello and dead intervals, preempt mode, and snVrrpVirRtr2State (init/master/backup), along with a long list of received-packet mismatch and drop counters (RxArpPktDropCnts, RxIpMismatchCnts, RxHelloIntMismatchCnts) and transition counters (TransToMasterStateCnts, TransToBackupStateCnts); the older port-indexed snVrrpIfTable/snVrrpVirRtrTable are retained but marked deprecated in favor of the ifIndex-based versions. Global scalars snVrrpGroupOperMode and snVrrpGroupOperModeVrrpextended enable/disable VRRP and VRRPE device-wide, and snVrrpIfStateChangeTrap controls whether interface state-change traps are generated. It depends on the underlying IF-MIB ifIndex space and is deployed on Brocade/Foundry routers providing first-hop gateway redundancy, and administrators rely on FOUNDRY-SN-IP-VRRP-MIB SNMP monitoring of master/backup transitions and VRRP protocol-error counters.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FOUNDRY-SN-IP-VRRP-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

  • Brocade (Foundry) FastIron/NetIron routers

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls snVrrpVirRtr2State for a virtual router entry in snVrrpVirRtr2Table, and an unexpected transition from master(1) to backup(2) - reflected in a rising snVrrpVirRtr2TransToBackupStateCnts - would indicate the router lost mastership, potentially due to a priority or hello-interval mismatch with a peer.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VRRP/VRRPE global enable state
  • virtual router priority and state (init/master/backup)
  • hello/dead interval and preempt configuration
  • authentication and packet-mismatch error counters
  • master/backup transition counters

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using snVrrpIf2RxHeaderErrCnts OID:

Select a Brocade/Foundry FastIron/NetIron router (VRRP/VRRPE redundancy) 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 snVrrpIf2RxHeaderErrCnts 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 received Header error counts in this interface. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
