Description: Manages route policy and traffic filtering configuration on 3Com SuperStack routing-capable switching systems.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-ROUTEPOLICY-MIB?

A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-ROUTEPOLICY-MIB is a vendor MIB for 3Com SuperStack routing-capable switching systems that manages route-policy and traffic-filtering configuration, covering route redistribution rules, origin protocol matching, and metric adjustment for routes matching a policy. It exposes a route-policy table with match criteria (source address, route address/mask, originating protocol) and actions (permit/deny, metric adjustment). This is primarily a configuration-monitoring MIB: an administrator can verify that route redistribution/filtering policies are applied as intended and detect unintended route leaks or filtering gaps that would show up as routing anomalies rather than hardware faults. It belongs to the same 3Com switching-systems MIB family as the core system and file-transfer MIBs, sharing the a3Com enterprise tree. It is deployed on 3Com SuperStack Layer-3 switches performing route redistribution between routing protocols. Engineers can download the A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-ROUTEPOLICY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-SWITCHING-SYSTEMS-ROUTEPOLICY-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • 3Com SuperStack Layer-3 switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk a3ComRoutePolicyTable (a3ComRoutePolicyEntry) to review each policy's a3ComRoutePolicyOriginProtocol, a3ComRoutePolicySourceAddress, and a3ComRoutePolicyAction, confirming that only intended routes are permitted or redistributed. Checking a3ComRoutePolicyAdjustMetric and a3ComRoutePolicyMetric reveals whether a policy is silently altering route metrics in a way that could cause suboptimal path selection.

What Can Be Monitored

  • route policy match criteria
  • policy permit/deny action
  • route metric adjustment
  • origin protocol filter
  • policy count/index
