Description: IPPM-CONTROL-MIB module

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 IPPM-CONTROL-MIB?

IPPM-CONTROL-MIB is an IETF/experimental standards-track MIB defining notification (trap) objects used to control IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) measurement activity — specifically setting up multicast-based instantaneous performance measurements and reporting their results, as well as pushing alarms related to those metrics. It is fundamentally a control/notification module for network performance measurement rather than a device hardware/software health MIB: its objects trigger and report on active measurement sessions (e.g. one-way delay/loss style metrics) rather than reporting CPU, memory, or fan status. To the extent it monitors anything, it reports the outcome of IPPM measurement operations and any associated alarm conditions from those measurements. It depends directly on the broader IETF IPPM framework/MIB suite that defines the metrics being measured and reported, and was registered under an experimental (IANA-to-be-assigned) OID subtree. It would be deployed on routers or dedicated measurement probes participating in an IPPM-based active network performance measurement infrastructure. Engineers can download the IPPM-CONTROL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IPPM-CONTROL-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.

routers/probes participating in IPPM active performance measurement

Monitoring Examples

A measurement controller would use ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureSetup notifications to initiate a multicast-based one-off performance measurement between endpoints, then receive a corresponding result notification reporting the measured metric. No sample runtime objects/tables were provided for this module, so this describes the module's documented notification-based control mechanism rather than a table-polling scenario, and it should not be assumed to expose ongoing pollable counters. As an experimental IETF module, some object names/behavior may be provisional or non-finalized.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Description
ippmControlMib	1.3.6.1.3.10001	This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, It defines a set of NOTIFICATION-TYPE used to control IPPM metrics measures, pushing alarms and reporting the measures results.
NTF ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureSetup	1.3.6.1.3.10001.1	The definition of the setup of an instantaneous multicast measure is sent by the broadcasting application or the probe in the multicast channel using a SNMP trap defined in this notification-type. On reception of the ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureSetup setup the receiver or the router: + timestamp the arrival time of the setup; + considers the following defaults values; + prepare the ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureReport notification; + send the report using a SNMP Inform PDU. Defaults values: IppmMeasureEntry default values: ippmMeasureName: ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasure; ippmMeasureMetrics: { Type-P-One-way-Delay, Type-P-One-way-Packet-Loss, Type-P-Multicast-Instantaneous-Connectivity, () Type-P-spatial-hop-one-way-delay () } ippmMeasureBeginTime: 0 ippmMeasureClockPeriodUnit: 0 ippmMeasureClockPeriod: 0 ippmMeasureDurationUnit: 0 ippmMeasureDuration: 0 ippmMeasureHystorySize: 0 ippmMeasureStorageType: other ippmMeasureStatus: createAndGo IppmNetworkMeasureEntry default values: IppmNetworkMeasureClockPattern: 0 IppmNetworkMeasureTimeoutDelay: 0 ippmNetworkMeasureL3PacketSize: 0 ippmNetworkMeasureDataPattern: 0 IppmippmReportSetupEntry default values: IppmReportSetupDefinition: { onSingleton, inInformRequestPDU, clearHistory } ippmReportSetupMetricThreshold: 0 ippmReportSetupEventsDurationThreshold: 0 (*) only considered by routers.
NTF ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureReport	1.3.6.1.3.10001.2	This NOTIFICATION-TYPE is used by the receiver or the router to push the result of the measure performed according the ippmMulticastInstantaneousMeasureSetup setup. (*) is only applicable for router. { comment: This report definition has to be split to get one for receiver and one for router.} Note: An ippmHistoryValue is indexed using the owner, the owner index, the metric index and the timestamp (e.g.: acme.1.6.0106150820100100). So the metric index identifies which metric result (One-way-Delay, Packet- Loss, Connectivity) the ippmHistoryValue carries.
