The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

The OSPFv3 MIB feature enables remote monitoring and troubleshooting of Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) processes using standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management workstations. The protocol information collected by the OSPFv3 MIB objects and trap objects can be used to derive statistics that helps monitor and improve overall network performance.
Ensure that Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) is configured on the device.
Ensure that Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is enabled on the device before notifications (traps) can be configured or before SNMP GET operations can be performed.
To monitor multiple Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) processes, each process must be associated with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) context.
To monitor multiple VRFs, each VRF must be associated with an SNMP context.
Information About OSPFv3 MIB
Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) is the IPv6 implementation of OSPF. The OSPFv3 MIB is documented in RFC 5643 and defines a MIB for managing OSPFv3 processes through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Users can constantly monitor the changing state of an OSPF network by using MIB objects. The MIB objects gather information relating to protocol parameters and trap notification objects that can signal the occurrence of significant network events such as transition state changes.
The ospfv3Notifications MIB object contains the OSPFv3 trap MIB objects that enable and disable OSPF traps in the Cisco IOS CLI. These OSPFv3 trap MIB objects are provided by the RFC 5643 standard OSPFv3 MIB.
How to Configure OSPFv3 MIB
 Note |
On a Cisco Catalyst 6880-X switch, you can configure the snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 command only with an Advanced Enterprise Services license. A Cisco Catalyst 6880-X switch operating with an IP Services license does not support the snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 command. |
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
|
Step 1 |
enable Example: |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
|
|
Step 2 |
configure terminal Example: |
Enters global configuration mode. |
|
Step 3 |
snmp-serverhost {hostname | ip-address } [vrf vrf-name ] [traps | informs ] [version {1 | 2c | 3 [auth | noauth | priv ]}] community-string [udp-port port ] [notification-type ] Example: |
Specifies a recipient (target host) for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notification operations.
|
|
Step 4 |
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors [bad-packet ] [config-error ] [virt-bad-packet ] [virt-config-error ] Example: |
Enables SNMP notifications for OSPFv3 errors. |
|
Step 5 |
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 rate-limit seconds trap-number Example: |
Sets the rate limit for the number of SNMP OSPFv3 notifications that are sent in each OSPFv3 SNMP notification rate-limit window. |
|
Step 6 |
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 state-change [if-state-change ] [neighbor-restart-helper-status-change ] [neighbor-state-change ] [nssa-translator-status-change ] [restart-status-change ] [virtif-state-change ] [virtneighbor-restart-helper-status-change ] [virtneighbor-state-change ] Example: |
Enables SNMP OSPFv3 notifications for OSPFv3 transition state changes. |
|
Step 7 |
end Example: |
Exits global configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode. |
|
Step 1 |
enable Example:Enables privileged EXEC mode.
|
|
Step 2 |
show running-config [options ] Example:Displays the contents of the currently running configuration file and includes information about enabled traps.

Configuration Examples for OSPFv3 MIB
The following example shows how to enable all OSPFv3 error traps:
Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors
Device(config)# end
The following example shows how to verify that the traps are enabled:
Device> enable
Device# show running-config | include traps
snmp-server enable traps ospfv3 errors|
