What Is WS-SW-IGMP-SNOOP-MIB?

WS-SW-IGMP-SNOOP-MIB is a Symbol Technologies enterprise MIB configuring and monitoring IGMP snooping on a wireless switch, a feature used to optimize multicast traffic delivery by tracking IGMP group membership rather than flooding multicast to all ports. It exposes configuration parameters for the IGMP snooping feature along with the resulting multicast group membership and forwarding table entries. It supports monitoring the software/networking status of the switch by revealing which ports have active multicast group membership and whether snooping is correctly limiting multicast flooding, useful for diagnosing excess multicast traffic or missing multicast streams. As part of Symbol's WS-* switch MIB family it builds on the standard IGMP protocol concepts (RFC 4541-style snooping) rather than defining a wholly novel mechanism. It is deployed in enterprise wireless LAN environments carrying multicast applications (e.g., video or paging over WLAN) where administrators tune and verify IGMP snooping to prevent unnecessary multicast flooding to wireless clients. Engineers can download the WS-SW-IGMP-SNOOP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WS-SW-IGMP-SNOOP-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

  • Symbol Technologies (Motorola) wireless switches

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object names were supplied for this MIB, so a specific object-level scenario cannot be honestly detailed beyond its stated multicast-group/forwarding-table purpose. In general use, an admin would expect to poll the IGMP snooping group-membership/forwarding table and see it fail to reflect an expected multicast group, indicating snooping is misconfigured and is either flooding or dropping that multicast stream.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IGMP snooping configuration
  • multicast group membership
  • multicast forwarding table entries
