Description: IETF Layer-3 VPN working group MIB defining SNMP objects for monitoring IP multicast in BGP/MPLS VPN environments per RFC 6513/6514.

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 MCAST-VPN-MIB?

MCAST-VPN-MIB is a Juniper Networks build of the standard IETF Layer-3 VPN Working Group MIB (RFC 6517) managing multicast in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs (MVPN). Its objects cover MVRF counts (total, IPv4/IPv6, PIM v4/v6, BGP v4/v6, mLDP), a notification-enable flag, a general table (operational-status-change and change-time, C-multicast route protocol v4/v6, I-PMSI/inter-AS-PMSI config v4/v6, row status), and a BGP-general table (mode, upstream-multihoming (UMH) selection, site type). As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm MVPN multicast routing-protocol configuration per VRF on a Juniper PE router. It is deployed on Juniper Networks MPLS/BGP MVPN PE routers. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the MCAST-VPN-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MCAST-VPN-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 MPLS/BGP MVPN PE routers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks jnxMvpnBgpGenUmhSelection and jnxMvpnGenCmcastRouteProtocolV4 to confirm MVPN multicast routing configuration on a Juniper PE router.
