SNMP Polling - IPSec Tunnel Status

L3 Networker

I have downloaded the MIB's but cant find anything which would enable me to monitor the status of an IPSec tunnel.

 

Is it possible to monitor IPSec tunnel Up/Down via SNMP?

There are following traps but not sure if there is OID to monitor.

Hello,

What I do is make sure I apply an IP address to each tunnel interface. Then have a monitoring solution that monitors the far end of the tunnel so that if its unreachable, there is something wrong with the tunnel possibly. Using a SIEM is another method if you are parsing the logs.

 

Just some thoughts.

The tunnel interfaces show up as interfaces via SNMP, we monitor the status of them using IF-MIB

Not sure, but isn't the status of the tunnel interface always "up" even if the IPSec tunnel is down?

Yep, you are correct
