mplsTunnelPathChanges

Module: PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB::mplsTunnelPathChanges

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.5.2.1.2.1.30

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Specifies the number of times the actual path for this tunnel instance has changed.

What is mplsTunnelPathChanges?

A counter of how many times the actual path taken by this tunnel instance has changed. A high or rapidly increasing count can indicate an unstable network path or frequent re-optimization events.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.5.2.1.2.1.30
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB::mplsTunnelPathChanges

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.5.2.1.2.1.30.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB::mplsTunnelPathChanges.1

Start monitoring BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable router/switch (MPLS TE tunnels) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PRVT-MPLS-TE-MIB::mplsTunnelPathChanges OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable router/switch (MPLS TE tunnels) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

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.
