Description: Juniper Networks MIB for configuring and executing ICMP ping connectivity tests and reporting results on Juniper platforms.

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 JUNIPER-PING-MIB?

JUNIPER-PING-MIB is a Juniper Networks enterprise MIB implementing Juniper-specific extensions to the standard IETF PING-MIB (DISMAN-PING-MIB), letting an SNMP manager configure and run ICMP ping connectivity tests from a Juniper device and read back the results. It exposes a ping control table defining test parameters such as owner, test name, source interface/routing instance, and threshold values for round-trip time, RTT standard deviation, jitter, and egress time. Its monitoring purpose is network reachability and path-performance status rather than hardware sensors: confirming a remote target is reachable and that latency/jitter stay within acceptable bounds, with configurable thresholds that can drive alerting when a path degrades. It explicitly builds on and shares data model concepts with the standard mib-2 pingMIB (DISMAN-PING-MIB). It is deployed on Juniper routers used as active-testing endpoints for network performance monitoring in service-provider or enterprise WANs. Engineers can download the JUNIPER-PING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in JUNIPER-PING-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

  • Juniper Networks routers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator configures a test in jnxPingCtlTable (jnxPingCtlEntry), setting jnxPingCtlTestName, jnxPingCtlIfName, and jnxPingCtlRoutingInstanceName to source the ping from a specific VRF, then sets jnxPingCtlRttThreshold and jnxPingCtlRttJitterThreshold to define acceptable latency variation. If measured round-trip time or jitter exceeds jnxPingCtlRttThreshold/jnxPingCtlRttJitterThreshold, or jnxPingCtlEgressTimeThreshold is crossed, the test flags the path as degraded, which an operator uses to detect a congested or failing WAN link before customer traffic is impacted. jnxPingCtlOwnerIndex lets multiple test owners run concurrent tests without collision.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ping/RTT test configuration
  • round-trip time vs threshold
  • RTT jitter/standard deviation
  • egress time threshold
  • per-routing-instance test source
