Description: Manages IP address pool allocation and utilization statistics for subscriber sessions on Benu Networks gateways.

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 BENU-IPPOOL-MIB?

BENU-IPPOOL-MIB is a proprietary Benu Networks MIB for their broadband/mobile gateway products, managing the IP address pools used to assign addresses to subscriber sessions. It exposes a pool table with per-pool start/end address range, total and reserved address counts, and interval-based statistics such as peak free and peak used addresses. This is a subscriber-management software-resource MIB: bIPPoolPeakUsedAddresses trending toward bIPPoolTotalAddresses over successive statistics intervals is a direct capacity-exhaustion signal on the gateway, closer to a software resource-status indicator than a hardware one. It has no notable dependency on external standard MIBs, functioning as a self-contained Benu enterprise MIB. It is used on Benu Networks broadband gateway/BNG or mobile packet-core platforms provisioning subscriber IP addresses at scale, where BENU-IPPOOL-MIB SNMP monitoring tracks pool exhaustion before it affects new sessions.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BENU-IPPOOL-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

  • Benu Networks broadband/mobile gateway

Monitoring Examples

Walking bIPPoolTable/bIPPoolEntry by bIPPoolIndex and bIPPoolStatsInterval returns bIPPoolStartAddress, bIPPoolEndAddress, bIPPoolTotalAddresses, and bIPPoolReservedAddresses for each named pool (bIPPoolName). bIPPoolPeakUsedAddresses trending close to bIPPoolTotalAddresses across successive bIPPoolIntervalDuration windows reveals an address pool nearing exhaustion, warning an operator to expand it before new subscriber sessions fail to obtain an address.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IP pool address range
  • total addresses in pool
  • reserved addresses
  • peak free addresses per interval
  • peak used addresses per interval
  • statistics interval duration
