Description: IETF MIB for managing entities implementing the Diameter Base Protocol, applicable to AAA servers and network access infrastructure

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 DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB?

DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards-track MIB defined for entities implementing the Diameter Base Protocol, the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) signaling protocol used in telecom and IP networks. It exposes objects covering peer connection state, message statistics, and protocol-level counters for Diameter sessions. In a monitoring context it is used to verify that a Diameter node's peer connections are established and healthy and that message processing (requests, answers, errors) is proceeding normally, serving as a software/service health indicator for the AAA signaling stack rather than physical hardware sensors. It is defined as an extension of the general AAA MIB framework referenced in the Diameter Base Protocol RFC and is meant to be used alongside standard SNMP transport and notification infrastructure. It is typically deployed on AAA servers, Diameter agents, and network access infrastructure such as mobile core or broadband access gateways. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • AAA servers and Diameter agents/gateways

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were provided in sample_objects for this module, so a concrete instance-level polling example cannot be grounded in real names. Based on the module description, an administrator would generally expect to poll Diameter peer table entries and message/error counters to confirm that peer connections are up and that answer/error rates are within normal bounds. Because sample_objects is empty, the specific scalar and table names available are not confirmed here.
