Description: Extends the MPLS LDP MIB for Label Distribution Protocol implementations that use ATM as the Layer 2 medium.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB?

MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB is an IETF standards-track module (RFC 3815) that extends the base MPLS LDP MIB to cover Label Distribution Protocol entities operating over ATM as the Layer 2 medium. It exposes ATM-specific LDP entity configuration - VC directionality, LSR connectivity mode, merge capability, and default/control VPI-VCI values used for label distribution sessions carried over ATM. Monitoring emphasis is on protocol and link-negotiation health: LSR connectivity and merge-capability status reveal whether ATM-based label switching paths are correctly negotiated with neighbors, while the VPI/VCI configuration objects confirm correct provisioning of the underlying ATM virtual circuits carrying labeled traffic. It explicitly depends on the base MPLS LDP standard MIB and the conventions of the standard ATM-MIB for VPI/VCI addressing. Typical deployment is ATM-based MPLS core networks, common in older carrier backbones where LDP runs directly over ATM VCs rather than packet interfaces. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • ATM-based MPLS label switching router

Monitoring Examples

An admin polls mplsLdpEntityAtmTable (mplsLdpEntityAtmEntry, indexed by mplsLdpEntityAtmIfIndexOrZero) checking mplsLdpEntityAtmMergeCap and mplsLdpEntityAtmLsrConnectivity to confirm whether the LSR supports VC merge and how it connects to neighbors. mplsLdpEntityAtmDefaultControlVpi/mplsLdpEntityAtmDefaultControlVci and mplsLdpEntityAtmUnlabTrafVpi/mplsLdpEntityAtmUnlabTrafVci show which ATM VPI/VCI pairs carry LDP control messages versus unlabeled traffic, useful for diagnosing a misconfigured ATM-LDP session.

What Can Be Monitored

  • LDP entity merge capability
  • LSR connectivity mode
  • control VPI/VCI configuration
  • unlabeled traffic VPI/VCI
  • VC directionality
