What Is VIPTELA-BRIDGE?
VIPTELA-BRIDGE is a Cisco Viptela SD-WAN vendor MIB that models Layer 2 bridge-domain configuration and forwarding on WAN edge (vEdge) routers. It exposes a bridge table with per-bridge-domain identifiers, names, VLAN and routing-interface bindings, MAC-address-table sizing and aging, and traffic counters (packets/octets) for received and transmitted frames. This lets an administrator monitor both configuration (VLAN mapping, MAC table capacity) and performance data (traffic volume per bridge domain), which is useful for spotting a bridge domain approaching its MAC address limit or one carrying unexpectedly high/low traffic. It is part of Viptela's SD-WAN MIB family and shares its object-naming conventions with sibling modules like VIPTELA-OMP and VIPTELA-SECURITY, though it has no dependency on IETF bridge MIBs. It's deployed on Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) vEdge/cEdge routers at branch and data-center sites. Engineers can download the VIPTELA-BRIDGE file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VIPTELA-BRIDGE. 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
- Cisco Viptela SD-WAN vEdge/cEdge router
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll bridgeTableTable/bridgeTableEntry for a given bridgeTableBridgeId to check bridgeTableNumMacs against bridgeTableMaxMacs, catching a bridge domain about to exhaust its MAC table (a common cause of flooding). bridgeTableRxPackets/bridgeTableRxOctets versus bridgeTableTxPackets can reveal an asymmetric traffic pattern suggesting a routing or VLAN misconfiguration. bridgeTableAgeTime confirms the configured MAC aging interval for that bridge domain.
What Can Be Monitored
- bridge domain VLAN/interface mapping
- MAC address table usage vs. maximum
- MAC aging time
- received/transmitted packet and octet counts
