Description: Monitors aggregate SIP/H.323 signaling statistics and media stream metrics on Cisco Session Border Controllers.

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-SESS-BORDER-CTRLR-STATS-MIB?

CISCO-SESS-BORDER-CTRLR-STATS-MIB defines aggregate statistics for a Cisco Session Border Controller (SBC) application, categorizing its data into RADIUS message statistics, Rf billing statistics for the IMS Rx interface, and SIP signaling statistics. It belongs to the voice/unified-communications and signaling-gateway technology area and exposes counters for AAA/authentication traffic, billing message flow, and per-realm signaling activity rather than hardware sensors. Its monitoring focus is squarely on the software/service health of the SBC's control-plane functions: RADIUS accounting/access request, retransmit, accept, reject, and challenge counters reveal whether authentication with upstream RADIUS servers is succeeding, which directly affects call setup success rates. It depends conceptually on RADIUS (RFC 2865/2866) and the IMS Rx/Rf billing interface standards, and complements SIP/H.323 signaling standards referenced in its SIP statistics section. It is typically deployed on Cisco SBC platforms sitting at the edge of a service provider's or enterprise's voice/video network, arbitrating signaling between administrative domains. Engineers can download the CISCO-SESS-BORDER-CTRLR-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-SESS-BORDER-CTRLR-STATS-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 Session Border Controller (SBC)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll csbRadiusStatsTable per csbRadiusStatsEntIndex/csbRadiusStatsClientName to compare csbRadiusStatsAcsReqs against csbRadiusStatsAcsAccpts and csbRadiusStatsAcsRejects for a given csbRadiusStatsSrvrName, revealing whether a particular RADIUS server is rejecting an unusual share of access requests. A rising csbRadiusStatsAcsRtrns (retransmit) count alongside elevated csbRadiusStatsActReqs (accounting requests) would suggest the RADIUS server is slow or unreachable, which could cascade into failed call authentications on the SBC.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RADIUS access request/accept/reject counts
  • RADIUS retransmit counts
  • accounting request counts
  • per-client/server RADIUS statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using csbRadiusStatsAcsReqs OID:

Select a Cisco Session Border Controller (SBC) 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 csbRadiusStatsAcsReqs 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. This object indicates the number of RADIUS Access-Request packets sent to this server. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in packets), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
