Description: Handles IGMP snooping, querier configuration, and multicast group membership on Bay Networks Rapid-City series 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 RC-IGMP-MIB?

RC-IGMP-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City enterprise MIB (for the Accelar product family) that manages IGMP snooping and querier behavior for IPv4 multicast traffic on Layer 2/3 switches. It exposes per-interface IGMP configuration such as protocol version, query interval, querier-present timeout, robustness value, and snooping enable state, along with statistics on multicast group membership and IGMP activity. As a monitoring tool it is used to verify the software-level multicast control plane is functioning correctly, confirming IGMP snooping and the querier are enabled where expected, that timers like query interval and querier-present timeout are set consistently across the network, and watching statistics for signs of excessive query traffic or membership churn that could indicate a misbehaving host or a snooping misconfiguration. It is a self-contained enterprise MIB but parallels the concepts in the standard IGMP MIB (RFC 2933) even without a stated formal import. It is typically deployed on Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar-series Layer 3 switches in campus or enterprise networks running IP multicast applications. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the RC-IGMP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-IGMP-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

  • Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar-series Layer 3 switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rcIpConfIgmpTable/rcIpConfIgmpEntry for a given rcIpConfIgmpIfIndex to check rcIpConfIgmpSnoopEnable and rcIpConfIgmpQuerierPresentTimeout, confirming snooping is active and the querier timeout matches network design. Checking rcIpConfIgmpVersion and rcIpConfIgmpQueryInterval across interfaces would reveal a version mismatch or inconsistent query timing that could cause multicast group membership to expire prematurely, and rcStatIgmp statistics would show whether membership reports are being processed as expected.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IGMP snooping enable state
  • IGMP querier presence and timeout
  • IGMP version per interface
  • query interval and max response time
  • robustness value
  • IGMP statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rcStatIgmpInMsgs OID:

Select a Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar-series Layer 3 switch (IGMP snooping/querier configuration) 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 rcStatIgmpInMsgs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the used to indicate the number of Igmp packets received by the device. 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.
