OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.122.1.2.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Description: The number of octets that have been forwarded over the Tunnel.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the value of teTunnelDiscontinuityTimer.

What is teTunnelOctets?

Total octets forwarded over this tunnel; subject to discontinuities as flagged by teTunnelDiscontinuityTimer, such as at management-system restart.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.122.1.2.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TE-MIB::teTunnelOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.122.1.2.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TE-MIB::teTunnelOctets.1

Start monitoring MPLS-TE capable routers, vendor-neutral standards-based MIB (RFC 3970) (traffic-engineering tunnel/LSP status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the TE-MIB::teTunnelOctets OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any MPLS-TE capable routers, vendor-neutral standards-based MIB (RFC 3970) (traffic-engineering tunnel/LSP status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an MPLS-TE capable routers, vendor-neutral standards-based MIB (RFC 3970) (traffic-engineering tunnel/LSP status) 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 teTunnelOctets 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 octets that have been forwarded over the Tunnel. 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 Counter64-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.
