Description: Provides management objects for quality-of-service policy monitoring on Cisco GGSN platforms, including UMTS QoS class statistics.

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 CISCO-GGSN-QOS-MIB?

CISCO-GGSN-QOS-MIB is a Cisco-proprietary MIB for the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), the node in a GPRS/UMTS mobile core network that connects the mobile packet-switched network to external data networks. It exposes Quality-of-Service configuration and statistics, including mappings between QoS classes and IP TOS/DSCP values, per-class bandwidth allocation and current usage, and traffic-shaping parameters such as mean throughput and deviation factors for premium versus best-effort traffic. From a monitoring standpoint it tracks the software/service performance of the GGSN's QoS engine — active PDP contexts per class, bandwidth consumption versus total allocated bandwidth, and throughput compliance — helping operators detect QoS congestion or misclassified traffic. It is closely tied to the broader CISCO-GGSN-MIB, which provides the base GGSN object model this QoS MIB extends. It is deployed on Cisco GGSN platforms within mobile operator GPRS/UMTS core networks. Engineers can download the CISCO-GGSN-QOS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-GGSN-QOS-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.

  • Cisco GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polling cggsnQosCurrentPdps and cggsnQosCurrentUsedBandwidth alongside cggsnQosTotalBandwidthResrc can detect when a QoS class is approaching its allocated bandwidth ceiling, a precursor to dropped or throttled premium traffic. cggsnQosClassIpTosMapTable (via cggsnQosClass and cggsnQosMappedIpTos) lets an admin verify QoS classes are mapped to expected IP TOS markings, catching misconfiguration that would treat traffic at the wrong priority. cggsnQosPremiumMeanThroughput versus cggsnQosNormalMeanThroughput gives a quick check of whether premium subscribers are actually receiving better throughput than best-effort ones.

What Can Be Monitored

  • QoS class to IP TOS mapping
  • current PDP contexts per QoS class
  • bandwidth resource usage vs. total allocation
  • premium vs. best-effort mean throughput
  • throughput deviation factor

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cggsnQosCurrentUsedBandwidth OID:

Select a Cisco GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) 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 cggsnQosCurrentUsedBandwidth into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The current amount of bandwidth resource used on the GGSN. 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 Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline (in bits/sec), since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
