OSPFv3 MIB

Last Updated: July 23, 2012

This module describes the Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) MIB feature. OSPFv3 is the IPv6 implementation of OSPF. The OSPFv3 MIB is documented in RFC 5643 and defines a MIB for managing OSPFv3 processes via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The OSPFv3 MIB feature enables remote monitoring and troubleshooting of OSPFv3 processes using standard SNMP management workstations. Users have an improved ability to constantly monitor the changing state of an OSPF network by use of MIB objects. The MIB objects gather information relating to protocol parameters and trap notification objects that can signal the occurrence of significant network events such as transition state changes. The protocol information collected by the OSPFv3 MIB objects and trap objects can be used to derive statistics that will help monitor and improve overall network performance.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

Prerequisites for OSPFv3 MIB

  • OSPFv3 must be configured on the device.
  • SNMP must be enabled on the device before notifications (traps) can be configured or before SNMP GET operations can be performed.

Restrictions for OSPFv3 MIB Support

In order to monitor multiple OSPFv3 processes, each process needs to be associated with one SNMP context.

In order to monitor multiple VRFs, each VRF has to be associated with one SNMP context.

OSPFv3 TRAP MIB

This section describes the new OSPFv3 trap MIB objects that are provided to support RFC 5643.

The ospfv3Notifications MIB object contains the OSPFv3 trap MIB objects that enable and disable OSPF traps in the IOS CLI. These OSPFv3 trap MIB objects are provided by the RFC 5643 standard OSPFv3 MIB. To learn how to enable and disable the OSPF traps, see the "Enabling Specific OSPFv3 Traps" section.

The table below shows the OSPFv3 trap MIB objects.

How to Configure OSPFv3 MIB

Enabling Specific OSPFv3 Traps

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    enable

2.    configure terminal

3.    snmp-server host {hostname | ip-address} [vrf vrf-name] [traps | informs] [version {1 | 2c | 3 [auth | noauth | priv]}] community-string [udp-port port] [notification-type]

4.    snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors [bad-packet] [config-error] [virt-bad-packet] [virt-config-error]

5.    snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 rate-limit seconds trap-number

6.    snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 state-change [if-state-change] [neighbor-restart-helper-status-change] [neighbor-state-change] [nssa-translator-status-change] [restart-status-change] [virtif-state-change] [virtneighbor-restart-helper-status-change] [virtneighbor-state-change]

7.    end


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
enable


Example:

Device> enable

 

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.
 
Step 2
configure terminal


Example:

Device# configure terminal

 

Enters global configuration mode.

 
Step 3
snmp-server host {hostname | ip-address} [vrf vrf-name] [traps | informs] [version {1 | 2c | 3 [auth | noauth | priv]}] community-string [udp-port port] [notification-type]


Example:

Device(config)# snmp-server host 172.20.2.162 version 2c public ospfv3

 

Specifies a recipient (target host) for SNMP notification operations.

  • If no notification-type is specified, all enabled notifications (traps or informs) will be sent to the specified host.
  • If you want to send only the OSPFv3 notifications to the specified host, you can use the optional ospfv3 keyword as one of the notification-types (see the example). Entering the ospfv3 keyword enables the ospfv3Notifications MIB object.
 
Step 4
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors [bad-packet] [config-error] [virt-bad-packet] [virt-config-error]


Example:

Device(config)# snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors

 

Enables SNMP notifications for OSPFv3 errors.

 
Step 5
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 rate-limit seconds trap-number


Example:

Device(config)# snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 rate-limit 20 20

 

Sets the rate limit for how many SNMP OSPFv3 notifications are sent in each OSPFv3 SNMP notification rate-limit window.

 
Step 6
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 state-change [if-state-change] [neighbor-restart-helper-status-change] [neighbor-state-change] [nssa-translator-status-change] [restart-status-change] [virtif-state-change] [virtneighbor-restart-helper-status-change] [virtneighbor-state-change]


Example:

Device(config)# snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 state-change

 

Enables SNMP OSPFv3 notifications for OSPFv3 transition state changes.

 
Step 7
end


Example:

Device(config)# end

 

Ends your configuration session and exits global configuration mode.

 

Verifying OSPFv3 MIB traps on the Device

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    enable

2.    show running-config [options]


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
enable


Example:

Device> enable

 

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.
 
Step 2
show running-config [options]


Example:

Device# show running-config | include traps

 

Displays the contents of the currently running configuration file and includes information about enabled traps.

  • Verifies which traps are enabled.
 

Configuration Examples for OSPFv3 MIB

Example: Enabling and Verifying OSPFv3 MIB Traps

The following example enables all OSPFv3 error traps. 

Device# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Device(config)# snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors
Device(config)# end

The show running-config command is entered to verify that the traps are enabled: 

Device# show running-config | include traps
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors
