Nortel VPN Router Troubleshooting

RFC 2787—VRRP MIB

The VPN Router supports RFC 2787, Definitions of Managed Objects for the
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
. As stated in the introduction, RFC 2787
“defines an extension to the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with
SNMP-based network management. In particular, it defines objects for
configuring, monitoring, and controlling routers that employ the Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).”

RFC 2737—Entity MIB

This MIB contains five tables two or which are partially implemented.

*entPhysicalTable

entLogicalTable

entLPMappingTable

*entAliasMappingTable

entPhysicalContainsTable

The entPhysicalTable provides a listing of the hardware elements that are present
in the system. For example, each slot is listed and if there is a card in the slot, then
the card and any ports on the card are listed. The exception to this is the hardware
accelerator, which does not appear in the table. The listing shows element
relationships through the columns entPhysicalContainedIn and
entPhysicalParentRelPos. The only columns that are implemented are:

entPhysicalIndex

entPhysicalDescr (although the value is not strictly what the MIB

specifies)

entPhysicalContainedIn

entPhysicalClass

entPhysicalParentRelPos

entPhysicalName

entPhysicalIsFRU

All other columns return an appropriate default value for the object.

The entAliasMappingTable provides a mapping from entPhysicalIndex to
ifTable.ifIndex. By walking this table, a management station can deter the ifIndex
associated with a physical port.
