Description: Monitors Viptela SD-WAN multicast group memberships, PIM state, and replication trees.

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 VIPTELA-OPER-MULTICAST?

This is a Viptela (now Cisco) SD-WAN operational-data MIB modeling PIM and IGMP multicast state across the SD-WAN fabric. It exposes IGMP protocol timers/summary data and a per-VPN multicast RPF (reverse path forwarding) table showing RPF address, status, and next-hop counts. Its monitoring value is primarily software/protocol status rather than physical hardware - a failed RPF status or a next-hop count of zero flags a broken multicast path for a given tenant, and it reveals whether multicast routing has converged correctly per VPN. It parallels standard PIM-MIB/IGMP-MIB concepts, adapted to Viptela's per-VPN SD-WAN operational data model. It is deployed on Viptela vEdge/vSmart SD-WAN routers carrying multicast traffic across multiple VPNs/tenants. Engineers can download the VIPTELA-OPER-MULTICAST file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VIPTELA-OPER-MULTICAST. 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

  • Viptela/Cisco SD-WAN vEdge routers
  • Viptela vSmart controllers

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll multicastRpfTable entries indexed by multicastRpfVpnId to check multicastRpfRpfStatus and multicastRpfNexthopCount per VPN - a failure status or zero next-hop count indicates a broken multicast path for that VPN - while igmpSummaryQueryInterval and igmpSummaryQuerierTimeout confirm IGMP querier timers are within expected values and a spike in igmpSummaryLastMemberQueryCount can reveal group membership churn.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IGMP query interval/timers
  • IGMP querier timeout
  • multicast RPF status per VPN
  • multicast RPF next-hop count
  • PIM/IGMP protocol state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using igmpStatisticsRxGeneralQuery OID:

Select a Viptela/Cisco SD-WAN vEdge router or Viptela vSmart controller (per-VPN PIM/IGMP RPF 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 igmpStatisticsRxGeneralQuery 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. It reports rx General Query. 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.
