mplsL3VpnVrfRouteMidThreshExceeded

Module: MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB

OID (symbolic): MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB::mplsL3VpnVrfRouteMidThreshExceeded

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.11.0.3

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: This notification is generated when the number of routes contained by the specified VRF exceeds the value indicated by mplsL3VpnVrfMidRouteThreshold. A single notification MUST be generated when this threshold is exceeded, and no other notifications of this type should be issued until the value of mplsL3VpnVrfPerfCurrNumRoutes has fallen below that of mplsL3VpnVrfConfMidRteThresh.

What is mplsL3VpnVrfRouteMidThreshExceeded?

This OID is an alert that fires when a virtual routing container exceeds a predefined number of routes. It signals that routing table growth has crossed a performance threshold and may need attention. A network operator investigates when this alert appears to determine if routes should be consolidated or cleaned up.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB::mplsL3VpnVrfRouteMidThreshExceeded
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.11.0.3

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:60184->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
