Chapter: Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

The PPPoE Session Count Management Information Base feature provides the ability to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor in real time the number of PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions configured on permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and on a router.

The SNMP Traps for PPPoE Session Limits feature provides SNMP MIB support for the PPPoE session limits and generates notifications in case the limits are reached.

This MIB also supports two SNMP traps that generate notification messages when a PPPoE session-count threshold is reached on any PVC or on the router. The PPPoE session-count thresholds can be configured using the sessions max limit and pppoe max-sessions commands.

Prerequisites for Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

  • You must understand the concepts described in the Preparing for Broadband Access Aggregation module.

  • PPPoE sessions must be established using the procedures in the Providing Protocol Support for Broadband Access Aggregation of PPPoE Session s module.

Restrictions for Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

The snmp-server enable traps pppoe command enables SNMP traps only. It does not support inform requests.

Information About Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

Network Management Protocol

SNMP is a network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. SNMP version 2 supports centralized and distributed network management strategies and includes improvements in the Structure of Management Information (SMI), protocol operations, management architecture, and security.

PPPoE Session Count MIB

A MIB is a database of network management information that is used and maintained by a network management protocol, such as SNMP. The value of a MIB object can be changed or retrieved using SNMP commands, usually through a network management system.

The PPPoE Session Count MIB uses two SNMP traps that generate notification messages when a PPPoE session-count threshold is reached on any PVC or on the router. The PPPoE session-count thresholds can be configured using the sessions max limit and pppoe max-sessions commands. You can also set per-MAC session and IWF limits for a PPPoE session, per-MAC throttle rate limit for a PPPoE session, per-VLAN session configuration limit, per-VLAN throttle rate limit, per-VC session configuration limit, and per-VC throttle rate limit configuration limit.

The table below describes the objects and tables supported by the PPPoE Session-Count MIB. For a complete description of the MIB, see the PPPoE Sessions Management MIB file CISCO-PPPOE-MIB.my, available through Cisco.com at the following URL: http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/MIBS/servlet/index.

Benefits of Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

The monitoring of PPPoE sessions with SNMP provides the following benefits:

  • It helps manage the number of PPPoE sessions configured on a router or PVC by sending notification messages when the PPPoE session threshold has been reached.

  • It provides a way of tracking PPPoE session information over time.

Configuration Examples for Monitoring PPPoE Sessions with SNMP

Example: Configuring PPPoE Session-Count SNMP Traps

The following example shows how to enable the router to send PPPoE session-count SNMP notifications to the host at the address 192.10.2.10: 


snmp-server community public RW
snmp-server enable traps pppoe
snmp-server host 192.10.2.10 version 2c public udp-port 1717

Example: Configuring PPPoE Session-Count Threshold for the Router

The following example shows a limit of 4000 PPPoE sessions configured for the router. The PPPoE session-count threshold is set at 3000 sessions, so when the number of PPPoE sessions on the router reaches 3000, an SNMP trap will be generated. 


bba-group pppoe pppoe1
 sessions max limit 4000 threshold 3000
 virtual-template 1
pppoe limit max-sessions 4000 threshold-sessions 3000

Example: Configuring PPPoE Session-Count Threshold for a PVC

The following example shows a limit of five PPPoE sessions configured for the PVC. The PPPoE session-count threshold is set at three sessions, so when the number of PPPoE sessions on the PVC reaches three, an SNMP trap will be generated. 


interface ATM 0/0/0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 no atm ilmi-keepalive
 pvc 5/120
  protocol ip 10.0.0.2 broadcast 
  pppoe max-sessions 5 threshold-sessions 3
  protocol pppoe

Example: Configuring PPPoE Session-Count Threshold for a VC Class

The following example shows a limit of seven PPPoE sessions configured for a VC class called "main." The PPPoE session-count threshold is set at three sessions, so when the number of PPPoE sessions for the VC class reaches three, an SNMP trap will be generated. 


vc-class atm main
  protocol pppoe group global
vc-class atm global
  protocol pppoe
  pppoe max-sessions 7 threshold-sessions 3

Example: Configuring PPPoE Session-Count Threshold for a PVC Range

The following example shows a limit of 20 PPPoE sessions configured for the PVC range. The PPPoE session-count threshold will also be 20 sessions because when the session-count threshold has not been explicitly configured, it defaults to the PPPoE session limit. An SNMP trap will be generated when the number of PPPoE sessions for the range reaches 20. 


interface ATM 0/0/0.3 point-to-point
 range pvc 3/100 3/105
  pppoe max-sessions 20 threshold-sessions 15
  protocol pppoe

PPPoE Session-Count Threshold for an Individual PVC Within a PVC Range Example

The following example shows a limit of ten PPPoE sessions configured for pvc1. The PPPoE session-count threshold is set at three sessions, so when the number of PPPoE sessions for the PVC reaches three, an SNMP trap will be generated. 


interface atm 6/0.110 multipoint
 range range1 pvc 100 4/199
  pvc-in-range pvc1 3/104
   pppoe max-sessions 10 threshold-sessions 3

  • If you want to use service tags to enable a PPPoE server to offer PPPoE clients a selection of service during call setup, refer to the "Offering PPPoE Clients a Selection of Services During Call Setup" module.

  • If you want to enable an L2TP access concentrator to relay active discovery and service selection functionality for PPPoE over an L2TP control channel to a LNS or tunnel switch, refer to the "Enabling PPPoE Relay Discovery and Service Selection Functionality" module.

  • If you want to configure the transfer upstream of the PPPoX session speed value, refer to the "Configuring Upstream Connection Speed Transfer" module.

  • If you want to identify a physical subscriber line for RADIUS communication with a RADIUS server, refer to the "Identifying the Physical Subscriber Line for RADIUS Access and Accounting" module.
