Description: Manages traffic regulator (policer) profiles and bandwidth limiting parameters on Accedian MetroNID devices.

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 ACD-REGULATOR-MIB?

ACD-REGULATOR-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Accedian Networks for its MetroNID line of Ethernet demarcation devices, defining traffic 'regulator' (rate limiter/policer) profiles used to enforce bandwidth contracts on customer or service traffic. It exposes a table of regulator instances with committed and excess information rate and burst size parameters (CIR/CBS/EIR/EBS), coupling behavior, and blind-mode flags, plus a live working-rate object and a notifications group. Its monitoring value is in performance/traffic-shaping status: operators can confirm each regulator's configured rate limits and read the real-time acdRegulatorWorkingRate to see actual enforced throughput against the configured contract, and receive traps for regulator-related events. It's part of Accedian's broader MetroNID MIB family and relies mainly on standard SNMPv2 RowStatus/notification conventions rather than deep external MIB dependencies. It is typically deployed on Accedian MetroNID Ethernet demarcation devices at a service provider's customer handoff point to enforce and monitor SLA bandwidth policies. Engineers can download the ACD-REGULATOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ACD-REGULATOR-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

  • Accedian Networks MetroNID Ethernet demarcation device

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll acdRegulatorTable / acdRegulatorEntry keyed by acdRegulatorID to read acdRegulatorCir, acdRegulatorCbs, acdRegulatorEir, and acdRegulatorEbs alongside the live acdRegulatorWorkingRate. If acdRegulatorWorkingRate is consistently pegged near acdRegulatorCir, it indicates the customer is saturating their committed bandwidth and may need a rate upgrade. acdRegulatorNotifications would alert the operator to regulator state changes, and acdRegulatorRowStatus confirms whether a given regulator profile is active.

What Can Be Monitored

  • committed/excess information rate (CIR/EIR)
  • committed/excess burst size (CBS/EBS)
  • real-time working rate
  • regulator active/row status
  • blind/coupled mode flags

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using acdRegulatorStatsAcceptOctets OID:

Select an Accedian MetroNID device as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type acdRegulatorStatsAcceptOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by this regulator. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in Octets), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
