Description: Manages RIP routing protocol configuration and neighbor statistics on BAS broadband access platforms.

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 BAS-RIP-MIB?

BAS-RIP-MIB is a proprietary MIB module from Broadband Access Systems for managing the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) routing configuration on its broadband access platform. Per its module description, it defines configuration objects for RIP routing behavior and, by the nature of the protocol, would expose neighbor route entries and related routing metrics/statistics. As a routing-protocol MIB, its monitoring value centers on software/protocol status -- whether RIP is correctly advertising and receiving routes, and whether expected neighbor adjacencies and route counts are present -- rather than physical hardware sensors. It is one of the BAS-*-MIB family that shares the platform's chassis/slot/interface/logical-port addressing model used across the other BAS modules. It is deployed by operators running Broadband Access Systems equipment where RIP is used for internal or edge routing. Engineers can download the BAS-RIP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BAS-RIP-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

  • Broadband Access Systems (BAS) CMTS / broadband access router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll RIP configuration and neighbor-route objects on a BAS chassis to confirm expected routes are being learned from adjacent routers and that route counts match the network design, though no specific object names were available in the source data to cite directly. A missing or unexpectedly low route count would point to a broken RIP adjacency or misconfigured routing interface on that chassis slot.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RIP protocol configuration state
  • RIP neighbor routes
  • route count/metrics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ripIfStatsIntfCnt OID:

Select a Broadband Access Systems (BAS) CMT (legacy) 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 ripIfStatsIntfCnt into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of enabled interfaces running RIP. 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.
