Description: Manages World Wide Packets Layer 2 control frame tunnel configuration for Metro Ethernet service providers.

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-L2-CF-TUNNEL-MIB?

WWP-L2-CF-TUNNEL-MIB is a World Wide Packets (Ciena LEOS) proprietary MIB for Layer 2 Control Frame Tunneling, a feature used by Metro Ethernet service providers to transparently tunnel customer control-plane frames (e.g., STP, LLDP) across the provider network without the provider network acting on them. It exposes detailed operational/performance counters via per-port and global statistics tables covering received, tunneled, decoded, peered, and discarded frames. Its monitoring value is squarely in traffic/performance health: tracking counters like wwpL2CFTStatsPacketsRx, wwpL2CFTStatsTunneledFrames, and wwpL2CFTStatsDecodedFailed reveals whether control-frame tunneling is functioning correctly or silently dropping frames, which would break customer control protocols across the service. It depends on the underlying Ethernet control-frame tunneling mechanisms defined by the vendor and interoperates with IEEE 802.1 bridging/control-frame conventions. It is deployed by Metro Ethernet service providers using World Wide Packets/Ciena LEOS portal devices to deliver transparent LAN services. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the WWP-L2-CF-TUNNEL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-L2-CF-TUNNEL-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.

Monitoring Examples

The wwpL2CFTStatsTable (with entries wwpL2CFTStatsEntry) exposes per-port counters such as wwpL2CFTStatsPacketsRx, wwpL2CFTStatsTunneledFrames, wwpL2CFTStatsDecodedFrames, wwpL2CFTStatsDecodedFailed, wwpL2CFTStatsPeeredFrames, and wwpL2CFTStatsDiscardFrames, alongside global counters like wwpL2CFTGlobalStatsPacketsRx and wwpL2CFTGlobalStatsTunneledFrames. An admin would poll wwpL2CFTStatsDecodedFailed and wwpL2CFTStatsDiscardFrames per port to detect a rising failure/discard rate, which would indicate misconfigured tunnel peering or a frame-format mismatch causing customer control frames (e.g., spanning tree BPDUs) to be dropped instead of tunneled.

What Can Be Monitored

received control frames per port
tunneled frame count
decoded frame success/failure count
peered frame count
discarded frame count
global tunneling statistics
