Description: IETF PWE3 draft-05 base MIB for pseudo-wire virtual circuit management over packet-switched networks, covering VC provisioning, operational status, and high-capacity counters

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 PW-DRAFT05-MIB?

PW-DRAFT05-MIB is an early IETF PWE3 draft-05 vendor-neutral MIB defining the base object model for pseudo-wire virtual circuit (VC) management over any underlying packet-switched network, later superseded by the finalized PW-MIB (RFC 5601). No sample objects were captured for this module in the dataset, but based on its description it would cover VC provisioning, operational status, and high-capacity performance counters for pseudo-wires such as those set up via LDP or L2TPv3. Its purpose is centered on monitoring pseudo-wire operational status and traffic counters — confirming whether a provisioned PW virtual circuit is up, down, or in a signaling/negotiating state, and tracking packet/byte counters for capacity planning. It draws directly on PWE3 architecture and signaling documents (LDP-based pseudo-wire setup, L2TPv3) referenced in its module description. It is deployed on early PWE3-capable provider-edge routers offering pseudo-wire services over MPLS or IP/L2TPv3 backbones. Engineers can download the PW-DRAFT05-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PW-DRAFT05-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

  • provider-edge routers offering pseudo-wire (PWE3) services
  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB

Monitoring Examples

With no sample objects available for this module, a concrete polling scenario cannot be grounded in real object names; in general terms, an operator managing pseudo-wires under this draft MIB would expect to poll a pseudo-wire VC table for operational status and high-capacity traffic counters analogous to those later standardized in PW-MIB, but the specific object/table names are not present in the provided data.
