Description: Manages Resource Policy Management System (RPMS) bandwidth and QoS policy allocation on Cisco platforms.

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-RPMS-MIB?

CISCO-RPMS-MIB manages the Resource Policy Management System (RPMS), a server-side component of Cisco's Any Service Any Port (ASAP) architecture used to enforce Service Level Agreements between wholesale network-access providers and their customers at call pre-authentication time. It exposes data about the RPMS server's internal subsystems and about customer-profile-based call admission control policies, i.e. configured call limits versus currently active calls. Its monitoring value is squarely on software/service status: subsystem uptime shows whether individual RPMS components are running normally, while active-call and overflow-call counters versus configured limits reveal whether SLA enforcement is close to or exceeding capacity. It is a standalone Cisco management module for the RPMS server application and does not depend on other MIBs for its core semantics, though it operates alongside network access server (NAS) call-signaling infrastructure. It is typically deployed on a centralized RPMS server used by ISPs and wholesale network access providers to police dial-up and broadband subscriber SLAs. Engineers can download the CISCO-RPMS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll crpmsSubsystemTable's crpmsSubsystemUptime for each entry indexed by crpmsSubsystemIndex/crpmsSubsystemName to confirm that all RPMS internal subsystems have been running continuously without an unexpected restart. Separately, the crpmsCpTable exposes crpmsCpLimit and crpmsCpOverflowLimit alongside crpmsCpActiveCalls and crpmsCpActiveOverflowCalls per customer profile, so if crpmsCpActiveCalls approaches crpmsCpLimit for a given crpmsCpName, that signals the customer is about to hit their SLA call-admission ceiling and further calls may be rejected or routed to overflow.

What Can Be Monitored

RPMS subsystem uptime
customer profile call limits
active calls per customer profile
overflow call counts

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using crpmsCpAttemptedCalls OID:

Select a Cisco RPMS server (Resource Policy Management System) 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 crpmsCpAttemptedCalls into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of attempted calls (both successful and failed) for this customer profile. 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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ciscoRpmsMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.84			This MIB contains objects pertinent to a Resource Policy Management System (RPMS) server. RPMS is a key component of Cisco Any Service Any Port (ASAP) solution and provides the ability to dynamically share resources across network access servers (NAS). RPMS enables enforcement of Service Level Agreements(SLA) between wholesale providers and their customers. Such SLA enforcement is done at call pre-authentication stage. An SLA is conceptually a set of clauses (limits) that dictate how voice, dial and/or virtual private data network (VPDN) services will be provided by the wholesaler.
ciscoRpmsMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.84.1
