Description: Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch MIB implementing Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) instance and port 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 ME1200-MSTP-MIB?

This is a Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch MIB implementing the IEEE 802.1Q-2005 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), in the Ethernet Layer 2 loop-prevention technology area. It exposes bridge-wide MSTP parameters such as max age, hello time, forward delay, and force version, along with per multiple-spanning-tree-instance (MSTI) parameters. Monitoring here centers on spanning-tree software status: bridge timer values reveal the protocol's convergence tuning, BPDU filtering/guard flags show whether port-protection features are active, and per-MSTI table entries let an operator confirm each spanning-tree instance's configuration matches the intended VLAN-to-instance mapping. It is a private/vendor implementation of the standard IEEE 802.1Q-2005 MSTP MIB. It is deployed on Cisco ME1200 metro Ethernet access switches participating in a multi-instance spanning-tree topology to prevent Layer 2 loops across VLANs. Engineers can download the ME1200-MSTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-MSTP-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

  • Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll me1200MstpMstiParamTable (keyed by me1200MstpMstiParamInstance) to confirm each configured MST instance's parameters, and check me1200MstpBridgeParamsBpduGuard/BpduFiltering to verify port-protection features are enabled on edge ports. A mismatch in me1200MstpBridgeParamsBridgeMaxAge, BridgeHelloTime, or BridgeForwardDelay compared to neighboring switches would explain unexpected spanning-tree recalculations.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MSTP bridge timers (max age, hello time, forward delay)
  • BPDU filtering/guard status
  • per-instance (MSTI) spanning tree parameters
  • protocol force version
  • error-recovery delay setting
