Description: Extends standard IGMP MIB objects with Paradyne-specific multicast group membership and proxy-reporting parameters.
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 PDN-IGMP-STD-EXT-MIB?
This is a Paradyne (PDN) extension to the standard IGMP-STD-MIB, adding vendor-specific objects for IGMP multicast group snooping and proxy behavior on Paradyne network access devices. It exposes per-interface IGMP snooping enable/disable state, leave-delay timers, and detailed multicast traffic statistics such as packets and IGMP queries/reports sent and received. Its monitoring value is in tracking multicast forwarding health and IGMP protocol activity—confirming snooping is enabled where expected, watching join/leave timing behavior, and using packet/query/report counters to detect multicast flow problems or misbehaving hosts—though it does not cover general device hardware health. It explicitly supplements the standard IETF IGMP-STD-MIB, reusing its interface and cache table structure. It would be deployed on Paradyne DSL/access multiplexer equipment supporting IPTV or multicast video delivery in broadband access networks, and operators of such equipment rely on the PDN-IGMP-STD-EXT-MIB MIB to interpret these vendor-specific IGMP snooping objects correctly.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PDN-IGMP-STD-EXT-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
- Paradyne DSL/broadband access multiplexer
Monitoring Examples
An admin would check pdnIgmpInterfaceExtTable's pdnIgmpInterfaceSnoopEnableDisable to confirm IGMP snooping is active on a subscriber-facing interface, and review pdnIgmpInterfaceLeaveDelay/pdnIgmpInterfaceLeaveJoinForwardingDelay to tune how quickly multicast streams stop after a leave. The pdnIgmpCacheExtTable's counters—pdnIgmpCacheStatsMulticastPktsIn/Out and pdnIgmpCacheStatsIgmpQueriesIn/Out—reveal whether multicast traffic and IGMP queries are flowing as expected; a sudden drop in pdnIgmpCacheStatsIgmpReportsIn could indicate subscribers are failing to join a multicast group (e.g., an IPTV channel). pdnIgmpStdExtNotifications would alert on significant IGMP state changes.
What Can Be Monitored
- IGMP snooping enable state per interface
- leave/join forwarding delay
- multicast packets in/out
- IGMP queries and reports in/out
