Description: IEEE 802.1 LLDP extension MIB for Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) providing TLV objects to support VSI discovery and configuration.

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 LLDP-EXT-DOT1-EVB-EXTENSIONS-MIB?

LLDP-EXT-DOT1-EVB-EXTENSIONS-MIB is an IEEE 802.1 standards-based LLDP extension MIB that adds Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) TLV objects, supporting Virtual Station Interface (VSI) discovery and configuration in data center virtualized-network environments, as defined by IEEE Std 802.1Q. It exposes configuration tables for EVB and CDCP (Channel Discovery and Configuration Protocol) TLV transmission enable flags, plus local TLV data tables holding the actual EVB and CDCP TLV string content advertised or received via LLDP. It is used to monitor the software/protocol status of edge virtual bridging discovery, revealing whether a port is correctly advertising/receiving EVB or CDCP TLVs, which is critical for confirming that virtual machine network interfaces are being discovered and configured correctly between a server's virtual switch and the physical bridge. It explicitly depends on and extends the base IEEE 802.1AB LLDP-MIB and the related 802.1Q LLDP dot1 extension framework, being rooted under the lldpXdot1StandAloneExtensions arc. It is typically deployed in data center network switches and virtualization hosts implementing Edge Virtual Bridging for VM network automation. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the LLDP-EXT-DOT1-EVB-EXTENSIONS-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LLDP-EXT-DOT1-EVB-EXTENSIONS-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll lldpXdot1EvbConfigEvbTable (via lldpXdot1EvbConfigEvbEntry) to check lldpXdot1EvbConfigEvbTxEnable, confirming whether EVB TLV advertisement is enabled on a port, and lldpV2Xdot1LocEvbTlvTable/lldpV2Xdot1LocEvbTlvEntry to inspect the actual lldpV2Xdot1LocEvbTlvString content being advertised, detecting a misconfigured or missing VSI discovery capability. Similarly, lldpXdot1EvbConfigCdcpTable with lldpXdot1EvbConfigCdcpTxEnable and the corresponding lldpV2Xdot1LocCdcpTlvString would reveal whether Channel Discovery and Configuration Protocol data is being properly exchanged, which would flag a failure in dynamic VLAN/channel negotiation for virtual bridging.
