Description: Defines managed objects for managing traffic engineering (TE) links including bundled links.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring TE-LINK-STD-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is TE-LINK-STD-MIB?

TE-LINK-STD-MIB is the finalized, vendor-neutral IETF standard, RFC 4220, version of the MPLS traffic-engineering link MIB, defining managed objects for TE links including link bundling, superseding the earlier draft TE-LINK-MIB. It exposes essentially the same class of data as its draft predecessor: TE link addressing (local/remote IP), a TE metric, maximum reservable bandwidth, protection type, working priority, resource class, and mapping to incoming/outgoing interface IDs, plus a notifications branch. Its monitoring role centers on MPLS-TE link capacity and protection status: teLinkMaximumReservableBandwidth lets an operator confirm how much bandwidth is available for traffic-engineered LSP admission on a bundled link, while teLinkProtectionType/teLinkWorkingPriority reveal whether the link's protection scheme is correctly applied, and teLinkNotifications surfaces state-change events. As the standardized successor to the earlier draft, it depends on the same underlying MPLS-TE framework and interface (ifIndex) model, and is meant to replace TE-LINK-MIB in compliant implementations. It is deployed on MPLS-TE-capable routers using RFC 4220-compliant link bundling to aggregate component links. Engineers can download the TE-LINK-STD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TE-LINK-STD-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • MPLS traffic-engineering capable router

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll teLinkTable to check teLinkMaximumReservableBandwidth against current LSP reservations, catching a case where a bundled TE link is nearing exhaustion and new tunnel setups are at risk of being rejected. teLinkProtectionType and teLinkWorkingPriority would be reviewed alongside teLinkIncomingIfId/teLinkOutgoingIfId to confirm which component interfaces back a given TE link and whether its configured protection matches the network design, with teLinkNotifications flagged for any unexpected state change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • TE link local/remote IP addresses
  • maximum reservable bandwidth
  • link protection type and working priority
  • TE link resource class
  • TE link fault/state notifications
