Can Policy-Based Forwarding be detected with the following OIDs?

n-tomo — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 08:15:11 GMT

I have set up Policy-Based Forwarding on PA-220.

We would like to be able to detect alerts on the monitoring server side via SNMP trap when a ping drops and the path switches in Path Monitoring.Can the following OIDs be used for detection?

panPBFNhUpTrap: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.1100

panPBFNhDownTrap: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.1101

Hi @n-tomo ,

Yes, you can use the OID's to monitor the status of PBF:

panPBFNhUpTrap 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.1100 - PBF Next Hop UP

panPBFNhDownTrap 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.1101 - PBF Next Hop down

Alternatively, if you know the log that is generated in System log, you can configure SNMP server profile and using filter builder send an SNMP trap to the server under Device > Log Settings > System.

Kind regards,
