Description: Defines fault trap notifications for BroadSoft BroadWorks network server component failures.
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 BW-NetworkServerFault?
BW-NetworkServerFault is a BroadSoft vendor MIB defining SNMP fault-trap notifications specific to the Network Server component of the BroadWorks VoIP/unified-communications application platform. As a fault module it does not expose general-purpose configuration or counter data; instead it defines the set of trap conditions raised when the Network Server component encounters an operational problem. Its monitoring purpose is squarely software/service status: these traps are how BroadWorks signals that its Network Server component, responsible for signaling/routing functions within the platform, has failed, degraded, or hit an error condition, functioning as an event-driven service-health alert rather than a polled metric. It is one of a family of BroadWorks per-component fault MIBs (alongside modules like BW-OpenClientServerFault) and depends on BroadSoft's shared BroadWorks base/trap-common MIB conventions. It is deployed in carrier and enterprise VoIP environments running the BroadWorks softswitch platform, where NOC systems subscribe to these traps for service-level fault alerting. Engineers can download the BW-NetworkServerFault file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BW-NetworkServerFault. 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 (VoIP application server)
Monitoring Examples
No concrete trap or object names were provided in sample_objects for this module, so a specific instance-level scenario cannot be grounded in real data. In general, a management station would register to receive this MIB's traps and treat their arrival as an indication that the BroadWorks Network Server component needs investigation, since the module's stated purpose is limited to fault signaling rather than continuous polling.
What Can Be Monitored
- Network Server fault/failure events
