Category: Wellfleet BayNetworks Routing Protocols

Description: Monitors Wellfleet PIM multicast routing parameters, RP configuration, and join/prune message statistics.

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 Wellfleet-PIM-MIB?

This is a vendor-specific proprietary MIB from Wellfleet Communications (later Bay Networks/Nortel) monitoring PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) routing, including rendezvous point (RP) configuration and join/prune message statistics. It exposes PIM neighbor adjacency state, RP mapping information, and counters for join/prune protocol messages that build and prune the multicast distribution tree. It supports software status monitoring because a PIM neighbor adjacency going down, or an RP becoming unreachable, directly breaks multicast tree construction and interrupts multicast application delivery. It conceptually parallels the standard IETF PIM-MIB (RFC 2934) though implemented as a Wellfleet-proprietary equivalent. It is typically deployed on Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers acting as multicast routers within a PIM-SM or PIM-DM multicast domain. Engineers can download the Wellfleet-PIM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-PIM-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

  • Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers running PIM multicast routing

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were provided for this module; based on the short_desc, an operator would poll the PIM neighbor table for adjacency state and the RP configuration table for the currently active rendezvous point. A neighbor adjacency dropping to a down state, or the RP configuration showing no reachable RP, would explain a loss of multicast connectivity for downstream receivers in that PIM domain.

What Can Be Monitored

  • PIM neighbor adjacency state
  • rendezvous point (RP) configuration
  • join/prune message counters
