Description: Manages World Wide Packets IP interface addressing, subnet configuration, and routing gateway settings.
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 WWP-IP-INTERFACE-MIB?
WWP-IP-INTERFACE-MIB is a vendor MIB from World Wide Packets (WWP), a metro-Ethernet equipment maker now owned by Ciena, used on its LEOS-based Ethernet service delivery switches. It exposes IP interface addressing data such as interface IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway/routing configuration layered on top of the standard MIB-II IP group. Rather than hardware sensors, its monitoring value is confirming the management plane is healthy: an admin uses it to verify that a switch's IP interface is correctly configured and reachable, a precondition for polling every other status object (uptime, faults, performance) on the device. The module explicitly states it supplements, and therefore depends on, the standard IETF ip group rather than replacing it. It is typically deployed on Ciena/WWP LEOS Ethernet access and aggregation switches in carrier and metro networks where verifying management IP reachability is part of routine health checks. Engineers can download the WWP-IP-INTERFACE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-IP-INTERFACE-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
- Ciena/WWP LEOS-based Ethernet switches
- metro Ethernet access/aggregation devices
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the WWP IP interface configuration objects (structured similarly to the standard ipAddrTable/ipRouteTable) to confirm the IP address, mask, and gateway bound to a LEOS switch's management interface, and would investigate immediately if SNMP polling to the device starts timing out and this table shows a missing or altered entry. No sample objects were provided in the source excerpt, so exact table/object names are inferred from the standard ip group structure this MIB extends rather than taken verbatim from the MIB.
What Can Be Monitored
- IP interface address
- subnet mask
- default gateway/routing configuration
- IP interface reachability
