SNMP Traps for Inline Video Monitoring Statistics on MX Series Routers

SNMP is primarily used to monitor alarms raised by the inline video monitoring feature. The alarms sent to a network management system (NMS) either to troubleshoot the problem quickly or to proactively diagnose degradation in video quality. The following SNMP traps or alarms are implemented with the Cleared, Info, Warning, and Critical severity levels. The Cleared severity level is used to indicate a normal condition and to clear a particular alarm. Whenever a change in the alarm level occurs, the corresponding alarm is generated.

All the alarms include the following information pertaining to the MDI flows:

  • Source IP address

  • Destination IP address

  • Source Port Destination

  • Port Traffic type (UDP or RTP)

  • Computed DF, MLR, and MRV values

The following traps are generated for MDI metrics:

  • mdiMLRAlarm—This trap is generated when the computed MLR value is not within the configured range.

  • mdiDFAlarm—This trap is generated when the computed DF value is not within the configured range.

  • mdiMRVAlarm—This trap is generated when the computed MRV value is not within the configured range.

To enable the generation of SNMP traps or alarms for inline video monitoring or MDI metrics, include the alarms statement and its substatements at the [edit services video-monitoring] hierarchy level.
