Description: Manages BATM Advanced Communication MPLS Traffic Engineering global parameters including bandwidth constraints and preemption settings.

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-TE-PARAM-MIB?

PRVT-TE-PARAM-MIB is a BATM Advanced Communications enterprise MIB (proprietary "PRVT" prefix) for managing global MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) parameters on BATM networking equipment, controlling how a device advertises and reserves bandwidth for TE-enabled links. It exposes objects for the physical link bandwidth (prvtTeParamPhysicalBandwidth) and per-priority reserved/unreserved bandwidth pools (prvtTeParamReservedBandwidthPrio0 through Prio7, and corresponding unreserved bandwidth objects) used by MPLS-TE/RSVP-TE path computation, along with an OSPF traffic-engineering support flag (ospfTrafficEngSupport). It is used to monitor the software-level configuration health of MPLS-TE bandwidth reservation on a link — verifying that reserved versus unreserved bandwidth per priority class matches the intended traffic-engineering policy — which affects how the network admits and routes TE tunnels rather than reporting physical hardware sensors. It explicitly depends on OSPF Traffic Engineering extensions (OSPF-TE, RFC 3630) and the broader MPLS-TE/RSVP-TE bandwidth model for its semantics. It is typically deployed on BATM MPLS-capable switches/routers, where PRVT-TE-PARAM-MIB SNMP monitoring supports carrier or metro networks running MPLS-TE for bandwidth-guaranteed path provisioning.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PRVT-TE-PARAM-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 switches/routers

Monitoring Examples

A network engineer provisioning MPLS-TE tunnels would check prvtTeParamPhysicalBandwidth to confirm the total link capacity advertised for TE, and inspect prvtTeParamReservedBandwidthPrio0 through Prio7 alongside the corresponding unreserved bandwidth objects to verify how much bandwidth per priority class remains available for new tunnel admission. If unreserved bandwidth at a needed priority level is unexpectedly low or zero, it would explain why new TE tunnel setup requests are being rejected on that link.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using prvtCspfStatNumRtQueries OID:

Select a BATM Advanced Communications MPLS-capable switches/router (MPLS-TE bandwidth parameters) 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 prvtCspfStatNumRtQueries 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. The number of ATG_QCTE_QUERY_CSPF_ROUTE queries sent in to this CSPF process. 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.
