What Is WWP-LEOS-RAPS-MIB?
WWP-LEOS-RAPS-MIB is a World Wide Packets (Ciena) vendor MIB for the LEOS platform covering Ring Automatic Protection Switching, the ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet ring resiliency protocol used to provide sub-50ms failover on ring-topology networks. It exposes configuration data for ring instance definitions, node role (owner/neighbor), and protection VLAN assignment, along with operational status such as ring state (idle/protection/forced switch) and detected link faults. Its monitoring focus is squarely on network fault status: an operator watches ring state transitions to detect a broken ring segment, a stuck protection switch, or a ring flapping between states, all of which indicate a hardware link failure or misconfiguration needing attention. It is a vendor implementation of the standardized ITU-T G.8032 protocol, so its concepts map directly onto that standard rather than another SNMP MIB. It is typically deployed on Ciena/WWP LEOS switches arranged in resilient Ethernet ring topologies in metro and carrier access networks, where WWP-LEOS-RAPS-MIB SNMP monitoring lets operators catch a ring stuck in protection state before it becomes a lasting outage.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-LEOS-RAPS-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 ring nodes
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the RAPS ring status object for each configured ring instance to confirm it is in the normal 'idle' state with no active protection switch; a ring reported stuck in 'protection' state would reveal a persistent link or node failure on the ring that RAPS has failed over around but not recovered from. No sample objects were listed in the source excerpt, so specific table/object names are inferred from standard G.8032 ring concepts (ring instance, node state, protection VLAN) rather than taken verbatim from the MIB.
What Can Be Monitored
- ring protection state
- node role (owner/neighbor)
- protection VLAN assignment
- ring link fault status
