Description: Manages Transition Networks IP multicast snooping membership and forwarding 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 TN-IPMC-SNOOPING-MIB?

TN-IPMC-SNOOPING-MIB is a Transition Networks enterprise MIB for configuring IP multicast (IGMP/MLD) snooping on its managed Ethernet switches. It exposes tnSystemCfgTable for global snooping type, enable, flooding, leave-proxy, and proxy settings plus SSM range configuration, and tnPortCfgTable for per-port snooping configuration. It is used to monitor software/configuration status of multicast forwarding: tnIpmcSnoopingEnabled and per-port settings reveal whether snooping is active where expected, and a misconfigured tnIpmcSnoopingSsmRange or disabled tnIpmcSnoopingLeaveProxyEnabled can explain subscribers missing multicast streams or slow group-leave behavior. It complements standard IGMP/MLD snooping concepts layered on top of the switch's bridging (BRIDGE-MIB) functionality. It is deployed on Transition Networks managed Ethernet switches in enterprise or industrial networks carrying multicast video/streaming traffic, making it a key part of TN-IPMC-SNOOPING-MIB SNMP monitoring in those environments.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TN-IPMC-SNOOPING-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

  • Transition Networks managed Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check tnSystemCfgTable's tnIpmcSnoopingEnabled and tnIpmcSnoopingFloodingEnabled globally, then drill into tnPortCfgTable to confirm snooping is enabled on the specific ports serving multicast subscribers. If viewers report missed channels, tnIpmcSnoopingSsmRange and tnIpmcSnoopingSsmRangePrefix would be checked for a scope mismatch. tnIpmcSnoopingStatisticClear would be used to reset counters before re-testing after a configuration change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • global IPMC snooping enable/type
  • flooding enabled state
  • leave-proxy/proxy enabled state
  • SSM range configuration
  • per-port snooping configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using tnVlanStatisticQuerierTx OID:

Select a Transition Networks managed Ethernet switch (IGMP/MLD snooping config 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 tnVlanStatisticQuerierTx 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. This indicates the count of transmitted IPMC Query packets in this VLAN. 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.
