What Is BW-BroadworksNetworkServer?

BW-BroadworksNetworkServer is a BroadSoft (BroadWorks) enterprise MIB providing the system-management information structure for the BroadWorks Network Server, a softswitch/application-server platform used to deliver hosted VoIP and unified-communications services. It belongs to the telecom signaling/performance category, intended to expose SIP signaling performance and session statistics for the network server, layered under a top-level module-compliance and object-group structure (bwNSMibGroups, bwNSMibCompliancy) that organizes the MIB's conformance requirements. Its monitoring value is centered on software/service health — tracking SIP session load, signaling performance, and overall server responsiveness to catch degraded call-processing capacity before it affects subscribers. It is built as part of BroadSoft's broader enterprise MIB tree and likely depends on companion BroadWorks MIBs for the actual leaf performance counters. It is typically deployed by service providers running BroadWorks network servers to deliver hosted voice/UC services, where BW-BroadworksNetworkServer SNMP monitoring helps ensure call-signaling capacity and availability.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BW-BroadworksNetworkServer. 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

  • BroadSoft BroadWorks Network Server (hosted VoIP/UC application server)

Monitoring Examples

The sample objects provided (bwNSMibGroups, bwNSMibCompliancy) are conformance/compliance grouping nodes rather than pollable performance counters, so a concrete counter-level monitoring scenario cannot be honestly described from what's available. Based on the module's stated purpose, an operator would be expected to poll SIP session and signaling-performance counters elsewhere in the BroadWorks MIB tree to detect degraded call-processing capacity on the network server, but the specific leaf object names are not confirmed by the given data.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SIP session count/load
  • signaling performance
  • server compliance/conformance status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bwNbTimePeriodWithLicenseViolations OID:

Select a BroadSoft BroadWorks VoIP/UC application server 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 bwNbTimePeriodWithLicenseViolations into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of Time Periods in which a license violation occurred. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
