Description: TIMETRA-MLD-MIB module

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 TIMETRA-MLD-MIB?

TIMETRA-MLD-MIB is a Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent proprietary SNMP module for SR OS routers that manages and monitors Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD), the IPv6 analog of IGMP used by hosts and routers to signal multicast group membership. It exposes per-virtual-router MLD protocol configuration (query intervals, robustness count) and operational state, plus dynamic group/source membership data learned from listeners. For fault/status monitoring, the key value is confirming the MLD process is administratively and operationally up on each router interface and detecting stale or flapping multicast group membership. It typically relates to the corresponding TIMETRA multicast/PIM MIBs, since MLD-learned group state feeds IPv6 multicast routing decisions. It is deployed on Nokia SROS routers supporting IPv6 multicast services in service-provider and enterprise backbones. Engineers can download the TIMETRA-MLD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TIMETRA-MLD-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

  • Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750/7450 SROS routers
  • IPv6 multicast-enabled service-provider routers

Monitoring Examples

An admin polls vRtrMldGeneralTable/vRtrMldGeneralEntry to verify vRtrMldGenAdminState/vRtrMldGenOperState are both enabled per virtual router, and checks vRtrMldGenQueryInterval and vRtrMldGenLastMembQueryIntvl against configured protocol timers. The vRtrMldGrpSrcTable reveals which multicast group/source pairs are currently registered by listeners, so an unexpectedly empty table on an interface expected to have IPTV/multicast subscribers signals a listener-discovery problem. Tracking vRtrMldGenLastChange helps correlate a sudden drop in group membership with a recent MLD reconfiguration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MLD admin/operational state per router
  • query interval and robustness timers
  • active multicast group/source membership
  • last configuration change timestamp

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using vRtrMldIfMaxGroupsTillNow OID:

Select a Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750/7450 SROS routers, IPv6 multicast-enabled (MLD protocol admin/oper 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 vRtrMldIfMaxGroupsTillNow 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 value of vRtrMldIfMaxGroupsTillNow indicates the highest value that vRtrMldIfMaxGroups had till now. 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 value climbs close to a level you consider a practical ceiling for this device, since a rising peak often signals sustained load growth worth planning capacity around. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
