Cisco Prime LMS MPLS monitoring

[cwallin]

Hi all, have anyone used Cisco Prime LMS for MPLS xconnect monitoring?

Currently when these traps arrive to Cisco Prime LMS they are classified as "InformAlarm Unidentified Trap Generic".

Is it maybe possible to load the correct MIB for these traps and get Cisco Prime LMS to understand them correctly?

The raw traps looks like this:
xconnect down:
09:58:42.352760 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 12, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=1 424011509 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=2 } }

xconnect up:
09:59:48.597894 IP (tos 0x40, ttl 245, id 14, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 114) routerhost.51591 > lmshost.snmptrap: [udp sum ok]  { SNMPv1 { Trap(71)  E:cisco.10.106.2 10.130.1.13 enterpriseSpecific s=2 424018144 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 E:cisco.10.106.1.2.1.26.2=1 } }

I found some more info about the traps at:

I've tried adding the MIB in LMS via the import MIB option (admin -> monitor/troubleshoot -> import MIB). It doesn't seem to do anything in the DFM.

I was able to use the imported MIB for threshold management. But this wasn't the purpose of importing the MIB.

I want the "Unidentified Trap Generic" to display something meaningful.

Jeroen, thank you for sharing!

I will submit a TAC case too see if we can get some more info that way.

Here is an update:

After discussing with TAC there seems to be 2 possible solutions in LMS right now:

1. Create a threshold that monitors the specific OID for the xconnect vc and generate alarm if it changes.

2. Configure the device to send syslog when a xconnect state changes and create an "automated syslog action".

I have not tried either of them yet so I dont know which one works best, but option 2 seems easiest (its a one time config).
