Description: Manages Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR VRRPv3 IPv6 virtual router instances and election state.

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-VRRP-V3-MIB?

This is a Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent proprietary MIB (based on the draft-ietf-vrrp-unified-mib) managing VRRP version 3 over IPv6 on the 7750 SR SROS platform, providing first-hop router redundancy for IPv6 networks. It exposes per-virtual-router operational data: current state (init/backup/master), configured priority, preemption mode, advertisement interval, and the addresses associated with the virtual router instance. Its monitoring value is direct and continuous: vrrpOperationsState reveals whether a router instance is currently master or backup (or has failed), and an unexpected state transition combined with a changed vrrpOperationsMasterIpAddr signals a VRRP failover event -- a key software/protocol health indicator for gateway redundancy. It parallels the IPv4 VRRP-MIB (RFC 2787) as its IPv6-specific counterpart. It's typically deployed on pairs or groups of 7750 SR / 7450 ESS edge routers providing redundant default-gateway service for IPv6 subscriber or enterprise networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TIMETRA-VRRP-V3-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TIMETRA-VRRP-V3-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 SR
  • 7450 ESS edge router (IPv6 gateway redundancy)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls vrrpOperationsTable / vrrpOperationsEntry keyed by vrrpOperationsInetAddrType and vrrpOperationsVrId to watch vrrpOperationsState for unexpected transitions between backup and master, which indicate a VRRP failover has occurred. Cross-checking vrrpOperationsMasterIpAddr against vrrpOperationsPrimaryIpAddr confirms which router is currently acting as master, while vrrpOperationsPriority and vrrpOperationsPreemptMode help diagnose why a higher-priority router failed to reclaim master status as expected, and vrrpOperationsAdvInterval is checked when advertisement timing appears to be causing flapping.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VRRP instance state (master/backup)
  • current master IP address
  • configured priority
  • preempt mode
  • advertisement interval
  • virtual MAC address

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using vrrpStatisticsMasterTransitions OID:

Select a Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR / 7450 ESS edge router, IPv6 gateway redundancy (VRRPv3 operational state 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 vrrpStatisticsMasterTransitions 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 total number of times that this virtual router's state has transitioned to MASTER. 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.
