Description: Experimental draft IETF MIB for multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16 MFR) bundle and member-link management (pre-RFC version).

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 FRF16-MFR-MIB-EXP?

FRF16-MFR-MIB-EXP is an experimental, pre-standardization IETF/Frame Relay Forum MIB (based on FRF.16 contributions FRFTC 99-151/99-193) for managing Multilink Frame Relay (MFR), a WAN technology area that bundles several physical Frame Relay links into a single logical bundle for higher aggregate bandwidth. It exposes configuration and state data for MFR bundles and their constituent member links, including bundle composition, link add/remove operations, and bundle-level operational parameters. Because it targets a link-aggregation feature, its main monitoring value is operational/fault status of the bundle and members - whether member links are up, in-sync, or have been ejected from the bundle - rather than hardware sensors like temperature or power. As a draft MIB it builds on and complements the standard Frame Relay MIBs (e.g. RFC 2115/1315) by adding the multilink bundling layer defined in FRF.16. It is typically deployed on WAN routers and Frame Relay access devices that aggregate multiple T1/E1 or serial circuits into one logical Frame Relay connection for carrier or enterprise WAN links, with configuration and status objects documented in the FRF16-MFR-MIB-EXP MIB definition.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FRF16-MFR-MIB-EXP. 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

  • WAN router with Frame Relay interfaces
  • Frame Relay access device (FRAD)
  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer

Monitoring Examples

Since sample objects were not provided in the source data, the description is grounded only in the module's stated purpose: management of MFR bundles and member links per FRF.16. A realistic use is an admin polling per-bundle tables to confirm the configured member-link count matches the count currently in an operational (bundled) state, revealing a link that dropped out of the bundle without affecting the parent Frame Relay PVC's apparent status. Because no object names were supplied for this module, no specific table/object names can be cited without risk of invention.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MFR bundle membership status
  • individual member link operational state
  • bundle up/down status
  • link add/remove events
