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-MAC-MGMT-MIB?

WWP-MAC-MGMT-MIB is a World Wide Packets, Inc (later Ciena) proprietary MIB managing per-VLAN, per-port MAC address learning and limiting on carrier Ethernet switches. Its MAC table, keyed by VLAN/port, records MAC address, address mode, status, row status, and a per-entry reset action, a port-management (PM) table records learn limit/count, status, and a MAC-flush action, and a cache-MAC table mirrors the same for cached entries. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm a port's learned MAC count against its configured learn limit and flush stale entries. It is deployed on World Wide Packets (Ciena) carrier Ethernet switches. Engineers can download the WWP-MAC-MGMT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-MAC-MGMT-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

  • World Wide Packets (Ciena) carrier Ethernet switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks wwpMacMgmtPMLearnCount against wwpMacMgmtPMLearnLimit to confirm a port hasn't hit its MAC-learning cap on a World Wide Packets (Ciena) carrier Ethernet switch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port MAC learning count vs. configured limit
