Description: Manages QoS policy configuration including class maps, policy maps, and service policy attachment on Cisco 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 CISCO-QOS-POLICY-CONFIG-MIB?

CISCO-QOS-POLICY-CONFIG-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB defining managed objects for Quality of Service (QoS) policy source configuration, letting an administrator determine whether QoS/RSVP policy on a device comes from local configuration or a centralized COPS (Common Open Policy Service) policy server. It exposes global and per-interface objects for administrative and operational policy source, along with per-interface QoS capability information. Administrators use it to monitor the software-level configuration status of QoS policy control, verifying that an interface is actually receiving policy from the intended source (local vs. COPS PDP) and that QoS is enabled where expected, which helps diagnose why expected traffic prioritization is not being applied. It is tied conceptually to the COPS protocol standard and to Cisco's broader QoS MIB family covering class maps and policy maps. It is deployed on Cisco routers/switches in networks using centralized COPS-based QoS policy provisioning alongside local QoS configuration, and a CISCO-QOS-POLICY-CONFIG-MIB download is typically the first step in building that policy-source verification into an NMS.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-QOS-POLICY-CONFIG-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

  • Cisco router/switch (QoS-capable)

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check qosEnabled to confirm QoS is globally active, then poll qosPrIfTable/qosPrIfEntry for qosPrIfAdminPolicySource versus qosPrIfOperPolicySource on a given interface to detect a mismatch, such as an interface configured for COPS-sourced policy that has fallen back to local due to a lost PDP connection. qosCopsPolicyStatus would be checked to confirm the COPS session to the policy server is up, while qosIfCapabilityTable/qosIfCapabilityEntry reveals what QoS mechanisms (e.g., queuing, marking) the interface actually supports, useful when a configured policy fails to apply due to a hardware capability mismatch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • global QoS enabled state
  • per-interface policy source (admin/oper)
  • COPS policy server connection status
  • per-interface QoS capability
