What is zyIpRouteMetric?

zyIpRouteMetric reports the routing cost, or metric, associated with a given entry in the ZyXEL IP routing table. Admins use this value to understand why the switch prefers one route to a destination over another when multiple paths exist, since lower metrics are generally preferred. For example, a route with zyIpRouteMetric of 1 would be preferred over an alternate route to the same destination with a metric of 5.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.32.3.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-IP-FORWARD-MIB::zyIpRouteMetric

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.32.3.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-IP-FORWARD-MIB::zyIpRouteMetric.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> zyIpRouteMetric.1

Start monitoring ZyXEL routers and Layer 3 switches, small-to-midsize business networks (IP forwarding/routing-table config status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ZYXEL-IP-FORWARD-MIB::zyIpRouteMetric OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any ZyXEL routers and Layer 3 switches, small-to-midsize business networks (IP forwarding/routing-table config status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Zyxel XGS2220 Series (2023) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type zyIpRouteMetric into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the routing metric (cost) associated with a specific IP route entry. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the metric for a critical route changes unexpectedly, which can signal a route flap or an unwanted path change. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
