Description: Extends OSPF routing protocol configuration and neighbor state monitoring on Radlan switches.

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 RADLAN-OSPF-MIB?

RADLAN-OSPF-MIB is a private enterprise MIB from Radlan (an embedded switch-software vendor whose code is licensed by many switch OEMs) that extends standard OSPF routing protocol management for multi-instance OSPF on Radlan-based switches. It exposes configuration objects for enabling OSPF instances and controlling which categories of OSPF traps (errors, LSA events, state changes, rate-limited transmit events) are sent by the device. Rather than hardware health, this module is used for monitoring software/protocol status: whether OSPF trap notification is enabled per event category, the trap rate-limiting window and threshold, and general OSPF instance state so operators know if routing-protocol event visibility is properly configured. It builds directly on and extends the standard OSPF-MIB (RFC 1850/4750) which defines the base OSPF objects and neighbor/interface state. It is deployed on Radlan-chipset-based enterprise switches and routers running OSPF where administrators need finer control over OSPF trap generation than the base standard MIB provides, and network engineers typically load the RADLAN-OSPF-MIB module into their SNMP manager alongside the standard OSPF-MIB for a complete view of protocol state.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RADLAN-OSPF-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

  • Radlan-chipset-based enterprise switch/router

Monitoring Examples

An operator would set rlOspfEnableTrapsOspfStateChange and rlOspfEnableTrapsOspfErrors to ensure neighbor-down or LSA-flood events actually generate SNMP traps, and tune rlOspfEnableTrapsOspfRateLimitSeconds/rlOspfEnableTrapsOspfRateLimitTrapNumber to avoid trap storms during a route flap. rlOspfInstance identifies which OSPF process the settings apply to on a multi-instance box. If traps are disabled here, standard OSPF-MIB state changes could occur silently with no notification reaching the NMS.

What Can Be Monitored

  • OSPF instance identity
  • OSPF error trap enablement
  • OSPF LSA trap enablement
  • OSPF state-change trap enablement
  • trap rate-limit window and count

FAQ

What does RADLAN-OSPF-MIB let an operator control that base OSPF-MIB doesn't?
It adds finer control over OSPF trap generation on Radlan-chipset switches -- enabling/disabling traps per category (errors, LSA events, state changes) and configuring a rate-limiting window/threshold for trap transmission -- beyond what the standard OSPF-MIB (RFC 1850/4750) provides.

Why would an admin adjust the trap rate-limit settings in RADLAN-OSPF-MIB?
To avoid being flooded with OSPF event traps during a routing instability event, an admin can set the rate-limit window and count so the switch throttles trap transmission while still confirming via OSPF instance state that trap notification visibility is configured as intended.
