The enterprise-specific Chassis Forwarding MIB, whose object identifier is {jnxMibs 34}, enables J-series Services Routers to fully support the JUNOS health monitor. This MIB extends the scope of health monitoring to include JUNOS forwarding process (fwdd) components on J-series Services Routers. The forwarding process is responsible for most of the packet transmission through a J-series Services Router. The overall performance of the router is largely determined by the effectiveness of the forwarding process.
The JUNOS health monitor uses objects in the Chassis Forwarding MIB to access information about the forwarding process such as microkernel CPU usage and real-time thread CPU usage.
