Description: Defines managed objects for the General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP), which allows a controller to establish and release connections across a switch.
IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring GSMP-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.
What Is GSMP-MIB?
GSMP-MIB defines managed objects for the General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP) version 3, a standards-based IETF protocol that allows an external controller to establish, manage, and release connections across a switch, as used historically in ATM and label-switching architectures. It belongs to the switch-control/label-switching protocol technology area. Its data would cover GSMP session and adjacency state, controller-to-switch connection establishment status, and protocol statistics between a GSMP controller and its managed switch(es), reflecting protocol/software operational status rather than physical hardware sensors. Consulting the GSMP-MIB OID list is useful mainly for confirming which session, adjacency, and connection objects a controller-side NMS can poll. It supports monitoring of software/protocol status by exposing whether a GSMP adjacency between controller and switch is up, and the state of individual switch connections established via the protocol, which is central to detecting a broken controller-switch relationship. It is a direct implementation of the IETF GSMPv3 standard (RFC 3294/3295 family) and depends on standard SNMPv2 conventions rather than any vendor-specific MIB tree. It is deployed in legacy ATM/MPLS-controller architectures where a separate controller manages switching fabric via GSMP.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in GSMP-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
- vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer — applies to ATM/MPLS switches under GSMP controller management
Monitoring Examples
No sample objects were supplied for GSMP-MIB, so specific table/object names cannot be verified; conceptually a controller-side NMS would poll GSMP adjacency and connection-state objects to confirm a switch remains under active GSMP control and that established connections have not been unexpectedly torn down, but exact object names cannot be confirmed without the module's data definitions.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor
Example using gsmpSessionTimer OID:
Select a device implementing GSMP-MIB 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 gsmpSessionTimer 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. It reports, in units of 100 milliseconds, the time remaining before this GSMP adjacency's timer expires. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drops close to or below 0, which means the adjacency is about to (or has already) expired. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

The gsmpSessionStartUptime object provides the total amount of time that the session was active. This notification is not a substitute for polling the session statistic counts. In particular, the count values reported in this notification cannot be assumed to be the complete totals for the life of the session, since they may have wrapped while the session was up. The session to which this notification applies is identified by the gsmpSessionThisSideId and gsmpSessionFarSideId which could be inferred from the Object Identifiers of the objects contained in the notification.

| U32 gsmpSwitchTimer | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.2.1.3 | Unsigned32 | read-create | The timer specifies the nominal time between periodic adjacency protocol messages. It is a constant for the duration of a GSMP session. The timer is specified in units of 100ms. |
| U32 gsmpSwitchWindowSize | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.2.1.11 | Unsigned32 | read-create | The maximum number of unacknowledged request messages that may be transmitted by the controller without the possibility of loss. This field is used to prevent request messages from being lost in the switch because of overflow in the receive buffer. The field is a hint to the controller. |
| IP gsmpTcpIpEncapAddress | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.3 | InetAddress | read-create | The IPv4 or IPv6 address used for the GSMP session peer. |
| IPt gsmpTcpIpEncapAddressType | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.2 | InetAddressType | read-create | The type of address in gsmpTcpIpEncapAddress. |
| GSM gsmpTcpIpEncapEntityId | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.1 | GsmpNameType | not-accessible | The Controller or Switch Id is unique within the operational context of the device. |
| gsmpTcpIpEncapEntry | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1 | not-accessible | An entry in the table showing the encapsulation data for a specific Switch Controller entity or Switch entity. | |
| gsmpTcpIpEncapGroup | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.3.1.5 | Objects that apply to GSMP implementations that supports TCP/IP for GSMP encapsulation. | ||
| INE gsmpTcpIpEncapPortNumber | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.4 | InetPortNumber | read-create | The TCP port number used for the TCP session establishment to the GSMP peer. |
| ROW gsmpTcpIpEncapRowStatus | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.6 | RowStatus | read-create | An object that allows entries in this table to be created and deleted using the RowStatus convention. While the row is in active state it's not possible to modify the value of any object for that row except the gsmpTcpIpEncapRowStatus object. |
| STO gsmpTcpIpEncapStorageType | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4.1.5 | StorageType | read-create | The storage type for this entry. It should have the same value as the StorageType in the referring Switch Controller entity or Switch entity. |
| gsmpTcpIpEncapTable | 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.4 | not-accessible | This table contains the encapsulation data for the Controller or Switch that uses TCP/IP as encapsulation. |
RFC description
Manages the General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP) sessions, controllers, and switch operations per RFC 3295.
Start monitoring Vendor-neutral ATM/MPLS switch under GSMP controller, any manufacturer (RFC 3294/3295) 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.
