mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime

Module: MPLS-TE-STD-MIB

OID (symbolic): MPLS-TE-STD-MIB::mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.2.2.1.29

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TimeTicks

Access: read-only

Description: Specifies the total time the primary instance of this tunnel has been active. The primary instance of this tunnel is defined in mplsTunnelPrimaryInstance.

What is mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime?

Reports the total time the primary instance of this tunnel (identified by mplsTunnelPrimaryInstance) has been active. An admin uses this to measure how often traffic has stayed on the preferred primary path versus failing over to a backup instance.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.2.2.1.29
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-TE-STD-MIB::mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.2.2.1.29.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MPLS-TE-STD-MIB::mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime.1

Start monitoring Vendor-neutral IETF standard (MPLS-enabled core/edge router, Traffic Engineering) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB::mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Vendor-neutral IETF standard (MPLS-enabled core/edge router, Traffic Engineering) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an MPLS-enabled core or edge router as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type mplsTunnelPrimaryUpTime into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports how long the primary instance of this MPLS TE tunnel has been continuously active. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a TimeTicks-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value resets to a low number unexpectedly, since that indicates the primary tunnel path went down and came back up (a failover event). Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
