Monitoring trunk status via SNMP

If you have not guessed yet, SNMP and monitoring are my favorites.

So, you have configured many trunks on your switch and now need to make sure all of them are actually in trunking mode. Here is 2 SNMP OID that can help you:

vlanTrunkPortDynamicState (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.13) - reports administrative state. From Cisco SNMP object navigator:
1 : on
2 : off
3 : desirable
4 : auto
5 : onNoNegotiate

vlanTrunkPortDynamicStatus (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.14) - reports operational state.
1 : trunking
2 : notTrunking

To get data for specific interface you need to add ifIndex to the end of the OID. For example, for interface ifIndex=10147
snmpwalk -v2c -Ov -Oq -c public myswitch  1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.13.10147
To get ifIndex, you can either run  "show snmp mib ifmib ifIndex" command in exec mode or query ifName OID with snmpwalk. Here is the quick script:

  for int in ifIndex1 ifIndex2 ifIndexN
        do
        trunkoperstatus=`snmpwalk -v2c -Ov -Oq -c public myswitch \ 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.14.$int`
                if [ $trunkoperstatus -eq 2 ]
                then
                        trunkadminstatus=`snmpwalk -v2c -Ov -Oq -c public myswitch \ 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.6.1.1.13.$int`
                        if [ $trunkadminstatus -eq 1 ]
                        then
                                echo myswitch $int NotTrunking
                        fi
                fi
        done
