>> Table: aliveTable - (.1.3.6.1.4.1.272.4.36.1.1)

Description: The aliveTable contains entries defining any kind of surveillance. It is a more general version of ipHostsAliveTable that only deals with reachability of hosts via ICMP messages. Additionally interfaces can now be monitored, further extensions are possible in future.

Surveillance
Specifies what kind of event may trigger an alive entry. Being a generalisation of MIB table ipHostsAliveTable the latter table may be replaced by it. Possible values are:

o interface - the interface operation status is monitored. o ping - the reachablity is monitored via ICMP echo requests. o brrp - monitoring via the Bintec Router Redundancy Protocol which is a derivate of the popular VRRP (RFC 2338).

The default value is interface.

Enumerations:

  • interface (1)
  • ping (2)
  • brrp (3)
IfIndex
The index of interface to monitor the operation status. Like referenced in the ifTable. Applicable for surveillance mode 'interface'.
State
The state of the watched entity. Possible values are 'unknown', 'up' or 'down'. This value is not used for surveillance mode 'brrp'.

The default value is 'unknown'.

Enumerations:

  • up (1)
  • down (2)
  • unknown (3)
Trigger
The variable trigger defines on change to what state (depending on the surveillance mode) the defined action is performed. Possible values are 'up' or 'down'.

Enumerations:

  • up (1)
  • down (2)
Action
This action is performed upon status change of the respective entity to the given trigger condition. Possible actions are 'up', 'down' or 'none'.

The default value is 'none'.

Enumerations:

  • up (1)
  • down (2)
  • none (4)
  • delete (255)
FirstIfIndex
The first interface index affected by the action. This value is not used for surveillance mode 'brrp'.
IfIndexRange
A range of interface indexes affected by the action counted from aliveFirstIfIndex. Value '0' means that only interface aliveFirstIfIndex is affected. This value is not used for surveillance mode 'brrp'.

The default value is 0.

TaskId
The id of the task definition used exclusively for table sorting purposes (multiple instances are possible).

The default value is 1.

Range: 1 to 255

MasterProto
The protocol used for interface keepalive monitoring. Possible values are:

o brrp - monitoring via the Bintec Router Redundancy Protocol which is a derivate of the popular VRRP (RFC 2338). o ifstat - the interface operation status is monitored. o ping - the reachablity is monitored via ICMP echo requests.

The default value is 'brrp'.

Enumerations:

  • brrp (1)
  • ifstat (2)
  • ping (3)
MasterVrId
The id of the virtual router used for monitoring the interface. The associated BRRP configuration is stored in the biboBrrpOperTable.

Range: 1 to 255

MasterBrrpState
The operation state of the virtual router which triggers the specified action on the slave BRRP virtual router. The states 'initialize', 'backup' and 'master' are identical to the definition from RFC 2338.

The special state 'any' should be used in conjunction with aliveSlaveBrrpState_sync for a synchronized operation of the MASTER and BACKUP virtual router.

The default value is 'any'.

Enumerations:

  • initialize (1)
  • backup (2)
  • master (3)
  • any (4)
SlaveProto
The protocol used for the slave (or backup) interface (or virtual router) keepalive operation status switching.

o brrp - monitoring via the Bintec Router Redundancy Protocol which is a derivate of the popular VRRP (RFC 2338). o ifstat - the interface operation status is monitored. o ping - the reachablity is monitored via ICMP echo requests.

The default value is 'brrp'.

Enumerations:

  • brrp (1)
  • ifstat (2)
  • ping (3)
SlaveVrId
The virtual router id used for interface admin status switching. The associated BRRP configuration is stored in the biboBrrpOperTable.

Range: 1 to 255

SlaveBrrpState
The admin state of the virtual router controlling the slave interface.

down(1) -- the virtual routes enters the initialize state up(2) -- the virtual router switches to the backup or master state according to the basic configuration found in the biboBrrpOperTable. sync(3) -- the virtual router tries to enter the same actual state as the master. If this is impossible both (master and slave) enter the initalize state. decrPrio(4) -- the virtual router stays in the 'up' state, but its VRRP priority is decremented by 'aliveSlaveBrrpDecrPrio' (see biboBrrpOperPriority and biboBrrpOperDecrPrio to know the 'real' priority)

The default value is 'sync'.

Enumerations:

  • down (1)
  • up (2)
  • sync (3)
  • decrPrio (4)
SlaveBrrpDecrPrio
This value is used to decrement 'biboBrrpOperPriority' when virtual router state switches from 'up' to 'decrPrio' (see 'aliveSlaveBrrpState')

It is used again to increment 'biboBrrpOperPriority' when the virtual router state switches from 'decrPrio' to 'up' (see 'aliveSlaveBrrpState')

If this value changes while router is in state decrPrio, the old value is internally stored so that the correct inverse operation can be performed once condition for decremented priority becomes false again.

Default value is '10'.

Range: 1 to 254
