Description: Alteon Cheetah switch layer-7 MIB for managing content-aware switching rules and application-level load balancing.

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 ALTEON-CHEETAH-LAYER7-MIB?

ALTEON-CHEETAH-LAYER7-MIB is a Radware (Alteon) enterprise MIB (aws-switch 5) that configures and reports on Layer 7 content-switching features of Alteon OS-based application switches/load balancers. Its urlCfg branch (slbUrlRedir) holds paired current/new configuration objects controlling how the switch redirects HTTP traffic to an origin server versus a server group — based on non-GET methods (slbCurCfgUrlRedirNonGetOrigSrv/slbNewCfgUrlRedirNonGetOrigSrv), the presence of cookies (slbCurCfgUrlRedirCookieOrigSrv), no-cache headers (slbCurCfgUrlRedirNoCacheOrigSrv), and whether redirection is hashed on the URI (slbCurCfgUrlRedirUriHashLength) or on a named HTTP header (slbCurCfgUrlRedirHeader, slbCurCfgUrlRedirHeaderName). Separate layer7Stats (urlStats, connPoolingStats) and layer7Info (slbParsing) branches expose the resulting URL-switching and connection-pooling statistics and parsing state. Monitoring this MIB reveals whether content-aware switching policies are configured as intended and, via the stats branches, whether traffic is actually being classified and load-balanced along those content rules. It depends on ALTEON-ROOT-MIB for its aws-switch OID root. Anyone operating Alteon/Radware application switches can find an ALTEON-CHEETAH-LAYER7-MIB download to audit and monitor these Layer 7 redirection policies.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTEON-CHEETAH-LAYER7-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

  • Radware Alteon application delivery/load balancers

Monitoring Examples

An operator compares slbCurCfgUrlRedirCookieOrigSrv against slbNewCfgUrlRedirCookieOrigSrv to confirm a cookie-based origin-server redirect change has taken effect, then checks the corresponding urlStats counters for a sustained rise in origin-server redirects; a current setting that never matches the intended new setting would indicate the configuration change failed to apply on the Alteon switch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • HTTP non-GET origin-server redirect policy
  • cookie-based origin-server redirect policy
  • no-cache header origin-server redirect policy
  • URI hash length for load-balancing
  • header-based redirection name/policy
  • URL-switching and connection-pooling statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using urlStatRedRedirs OID:

Select a Radware Alteon load balancer 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 urlStatRedRedirs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of instances that the received packet matches the specified URL expressions and redirected to specified group of real servers. 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, 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.
