BIG-IP VLAN sensor

The BIG-IP VLAN sensor discovers F5 BIG-IP virtual LANs.

The SnmpMib2Sensor invokes the BigIPVlanSensor. A VlanInterface model object is created for each VLAN in the VLAN map (for example, the interface through which known VLANs can be addressed). This allows L2 topology views to be built.

Sensor name that is used in the GUI and logs

BigIPVlanSensor

Object identifiers (OIDs) that are used

The BigIPVlanSensor follows the standards documented in RFC 1212 to get the VLAN Interface. Specifically, OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.10.2.1 is queried to get the VLAN interface through which the VLAN from the MIB can be discovered.

The BigIPVlanSensor runs the agent's discovery step and discovers Vlans and VlanInterfaces and throws an AgentException if the discovery fails.

Model objects created

The sensor creates the following model objects:

  • bigip.BigIPVlan
  • net.L2Interface
  • net.VlanInterface
