Description: Manages BATM Advanced Communication MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnel configuration, CSPF path computation, and TE LSP state.

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 PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB?

PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB is a BATM Advanced Communications module implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) management based on IETF drafts for RSVP-TE LSP tunnels, CR-LDP path setup, and MPLS TE requirements from RFC 2702. It exposes tunnel-oriented configuration and state objects including a tunnel index table, per-tunnel ingress/egress LSR identifiers, tunnel name/description, and interface association, alongside general TE objects and notifications. Its primary monitoring value is in verifying MPLS TE tunnel/LSP operational state, letting an operator confirm a given traffic-engineered tunnel is correctly established between its configured ingress and egress LSRs and catch tunnel-down or CSPF path-computation failures via its notification objects. It closely mirrors and depends on the IETF MPLS-TE MIB conventions, including draft-ietf-mpls-te and related RSVP-TE/CR-LDP drafts, that it explicitly references. It is deployed on BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable routers/switches in service provider networks running MPLS TE tunnels. Engineers can download the PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PRVT-MPLS-TE-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

  • BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable router/switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would walk mplsTunnelTable, via mplsTunnelIndex and mplsTunnelInstance, to check mplsTunnelIngressLSRId and mplsTunnelEgressLSRId for a given mplsTunnelName, confirming the TE tunnel connects the intended endpoints. The mplsTunnelIsIf and mplsTunnelDescr fields help correlate a tunnel with its logical interface for further diagnostics. A tunnel entry missing or showing an unexpected egress LSR ID, together with an mplsTeNotifications trap, would indicate a TE tunnel setup or CSPF path failure.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MPLS TE tunnel ingress/egress LSR ID
  • tunnel name and description
  • tunnel-to-interface association
  • MPLS TE tunnel notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using mplsTunnelPathChanges OID:

Select a BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable router/switch (MPLS TE tunnels) 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 mplsTunnelPathChanges 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. Specifies the number of times the actual path for this tunnel instance has changed. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
