ieee8021QBridgeTpVlanPortTtlDiscards

Module: IEEE8021-ECMP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-ECMP-MIB::ieee8021QBridgeTpVlanPortTtlDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.28.1.5.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of valid frames received by this port from its segment that were classified as belonging to this VLAN and that were discarded due to TTL expiry. Discontinuities in the value of the counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime object of the associated interface (if any).

What is ieee8021QBridgeTpVlanPortTtlDiscards?

This read-only Counter64, in units of frames, counts valid frames received on this port, classified as belonging to this VLAN, that were discarded because their TTL expired. An admin watches this counter to detect looping or excessively long forwarding paths within an SPB network for a given VLAN on a given port, since a healthy topology should see this stay near zero. A steadily climbing count here would prompt the admin to check for a routing or topology loop causing frames for this VLAN to circulate until TTL exhaustion.

Examples

Start monitoring Vendor-neutral IEEE 802.1Q standard (Ethernet bridge/switch ECMP load balancing) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the IEEE8021-ECMP-MIB::ieee8021QBridgeTpVlanPortTtlDiscards OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Vendor-neutral IEEE 802.1Q standard (Ethernet bridge/switch ECMP load balancing) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing IEEE8021-ECMP-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 ieee8021QBridgeTpVlanPortTtlDiscards into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of valid frames received by this port from its segment that were classified as belonging to this VLAN and that were discarded due to TTL expiry. 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 Counter64-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.
