Description: Manages bandwidth management policies, traffic classes, and rate-limiting rules on network devices.

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 BWM-MIB?

BWM-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module for managing bandwidth-management policies on network traffic-shaping/QoS devices, exposed under an "rs"-prefixed object tree consistent with a bandwidth-manager appliance product line. It exposes rule-based configuration data, each bandwidth rule's name, source/destination criteria, physical port, direction, priority, action, and rule type, along with policy- and network-wide tuning parameters. Its monitoring value centers on configuration/policy state and enforcement action rather than hardware sensors: rule status and action reveal whether a given traffic-shaping rule is active and what it does to matching traffic, letting an operator confirm that bandwidth limits or prioritization are being enforced as intended. It is a self-contained vendor MIB built on standard SNMPv2 SMI table conventions rather than depending on other IETF QoS standards. It is deployed on bandwidth-shaping/traffic-management appliances in enterprise or service-provider networks that need to enforce per-application or per-destination bandwidth policies, and administrators typically load its rule and policy objects into a BWM-MIB MIB Browser session to review the full configuration tree.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BWM-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

  • bandwidth management / traffic-shaping appliance

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rsBWMRulesTable/rsBWMRulesEntry indexed by rsBWMRulesIndex to read rsBWMRulesName, rsBWMRulesSource/Destination, and rsBWMRulesAction, confirming which traffic a given rsBWMRulesPhysicalPort and rsBWMRulesDirection apply to. If rsBWMRulesStatus shows a rule as inactive when it should be enforcing a bandwidth cap, that would reveal a misconfigured or disabled policy allowing unrestrained traffic on that port. rsBWMRulesPriority values can also be checked to verify rule evaluation order matches intended QoS precedence, while rsBWMPolicyTuning/rsBWMNetworkTuning expose broader tuning parameters affecting all rules.

What Can Be Monitored

  • bandwidth rule status (active/inactive)
  • rule action (allow/limit/prioritize)
  • rule source/destination criteria
  • rule priority and direction
  • per-port bandwidth rule assignment
