What Is DIFFSERV-MIB?

DIFFSERV-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards MIB defining managed objects for configuring and monitoring the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture described in RFC 2475 on any compliant network device (router or Layer 3 switch). It models the DiffServ data path as a set of functional building blocks -- classifiers, meters, markers/actions, queues, and schedulers -- allowing an NMS to both configure QoS policy and monitor its real-time effect on traffic. Its monitoring value is squarely about software/control-plane status and performance: classifier match counts, meter conformance/violation statistics, and queue occupancy/drop counters reveal whether QoS policy is behaving as intended or whether a traffic class is being throttled or dropped unexpectedly. It explicitly depends on and complements the conceptual model described in RFC 2475 (the DiffServ architecture) and typically works alongside IF-MIB for per-interface association of DiffServ policies. It is deployed on any vendor's router, switch, or firewall that implements DiffServ-based QoS, especially in service-provider and enterprise WAN edge environments, and network engineers building custom QoS dashboards commonly reference the DIFFSERV-MIB MIB directly rather than relying on vendor-specific wrappers.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DIFFSERV-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
  • router or Layer 3 switch implementing DiffServ QoS

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were extracted in this batch, but per the RFC 2475 model an admin would typically poll classifier element counters to confirm traffic is matching the expected class, meter conformance/exceed counters to verify policing behavior, and queue statistics (depth, discards) to detect congestion-related drops on a QoS-enabled interface. A rising discard count on a specific queue while overall interface utilization is moderate would reveal a misconfigured bandwidth allocation for that traffic class. Because no object names were provided in the source data, this scenario is described at the architectural level defined by the RFC rather than tied to specific confirmed object names.

OIDs
OID symbolicOID numericTypeAccessDescription
diffServMib1.3.6.1.2.1.97This MIB defines the objects necessary to manage a device that uses the Differentiated Services Architecture described in RFC 2475. The Conceptual Model of a Differentiated Services Router provides supporting information on how such a router is modeled.
diffServMIBObjects1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1
diffServDataPath1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1
diffServDataPathTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1not-accessibleThe data path table contains RowPointers indicating the start of the functional data path for each interface and traffic direction in this device. These may merge, or be separated into parallel data paths.
diffServDataPathEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1not-accessibleAn entry in the data path table indicates the start of a single Differentiated Services Functional Data Path in this device. These are associated with individual interfaces, logical or physical, and therefore are instantiated by ifIndex. Therefore, the interface index must have been assigned, according to the procedures applicable to that, before it can be meaningfully used. Generally, this means that the interface must exist. When diffServDataPathStorage is of type nonVolatile, however, this may reflect the configuration for an interface whose ifIndex has been assigned but for which the supporting implementation is not currently present.
IFD diffServDataPathIfDirection1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1.1IfDirectionnot-accessibleIfDirection specifies whether the reception or transmission path for this interface is in view.
NUM diffServDataPathStart1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1.2RowPointerread-createThis selects the first Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates that no Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. A pointer with the value zeroDotZero normally terminates a functional data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
STO diffServDataPathStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1.3StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServDataPathStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1.4RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time.
diffServClassifier1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2
NUM diffServClfrNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.1IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServClfrId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServClfrTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.2not-accessibleThis table enumerates all the diffserv classifier functional data path elements of this device. The actual classification definitions are defined in diffServClfrElementTable entries belonging to each classifier. An entry in this table, pointed to by a RowPointer specifying an instance of diffServClfrStatus, is frequently used as the name for a set of classifier elements, which all use the index diffServClfrId. Per the semantics of the classifier element table, these entries constitute one or more unordered sets of tests which may be simultaneously applied to a message to classify it. The primary function of this table is to ensure that the value of diffServClfrId is unique before attempting to use it in creating a diffServClfrElementEntry. Therefore, the diffServClfrEntry must be created on the same SET as the diffServClfrElementEntry, or before the diffServClfrElementEntry is created.
diffServClfrEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.2.1not-accessibleAn entry in the classifier table describes a single classifier. All classifier elements belonging to the same classifier use the classifier's diffServClfrId as part of their index.
NUM diffServClfrId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.2.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the classifier entries. Managers should obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServClfrNextFree.
STO diffServClfrStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.2.1.2StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServClfrStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.2.1.3RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
NUM diffServClfrElementNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.3IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServClfrElementId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServClfrElementTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4not-accessibleThe classifier element table enumerates the relationship between classification patterns and subsequent downstream Differentiated Services Functional Data Path elements. diffServClfrElementSpecific points to a filter that specifies the classification parameters. A classifier may use filter tables of different types together. One example of a filter table defined in this MIB is diffServMultiFieldClfrTable, for IP Multi-Field Classifiers (MFCs). Such an entry might identify anything from a single micro-flow (an identifiable sub-session packet stream directed from one sending transport to the receiving transport or transports), or aggregates of those such as the traffic from a host, traffic for an application, or traffic between two hosts using an application and a given DSCP. The standard Behavior Aggregate used in the Differentiated Services Architecture is encoded as a degenerate case of such an aggregate - the traffic using a particular DSCP value. Filter tables for other filter types may be defined elsewhere.
diffServClfrElementEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1not-accessibleAn entry in the classifier element table describes a single element of the classifier.
NUM diffServClfrElementId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the Classifier Element entries. Managers obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServClfrElementNextFree.
U32 diffServClfrElementPrecedence1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.2Unsigned32read-createThe relative order in which classifier elements are applied: higher numbers represent classifier element with higher precedence. Classifier elements with the same order must be unambiguous i.e. they must define non-overlapping patterns, and are considered to be applied simultaneously to the traffic stream. Classifier elements with different order may overlap in their filters: the classifier element with the highest order that matches is taken. On a given interface, there must be a complete classifier in place at all times in the ingress direction. This means one or more filters must match any possible pattern. There is no such requirement in the egress direction.
NUM diffServClfrElementNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.3RowPointerread-createThis attribute provides one branch of the fan-out functionality of a classifier described in the Informal Differentiated Services Model section 4.1. This selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. The use of zeroDotZero is the normal usage for the last functional data path element of the current data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServClfrElementSpecific1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.4RowPointerread-createA pointer to a valid entry in another table, filter table, that describes the applicable classification parameters, e.g. an entry in diffServMultiFieldClfrTable. The value zeroDotZero is interpreted to match anything not matched by another classifier element - only one such entry may exist for each classifier. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the element is ignored.
STO diffServClfrElementStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.5StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServClfrElementStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.4.1.6RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
NUM diffServMultiFieldClfrNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.5IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServMultiFieldClfrId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServMultiFieldClfrTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6not-accessibleA table of IP Multi-field Classifier filter entries that a system may use to identify IP traffic.
diffServMultiFieldClfrEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1not-accessibleAn IP Multi-field Classifier entry describes a single filter.
NUM diffServMultiFieldClfrId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the MultiField Classifier filter entries. Managers obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServMultiFieldClfrNextFree.
IPt diffServMultiFieldClfrAddrType1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.2InetAddressTyperead-createThe type of IP address used by this classifier entry. While other types of addresses are defined in the InetAddressType textual convention, and DNS names, a classifier can only look at packets on the wire. Therefore, this object is limited to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
IP diffServMultiFieldClfrDstAddr1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.3InetAddressread-createThe IP address to match against the packet's destination IP address. This may not be a DNS name, but may be an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix. diffServMultiFieldClfrDstPrefixLength indicates the number of bits that are relevant.
ADR diffServMultiFieldClfrDstPrefixLength1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.4InetAddressPrefixLengthread-createThe length of the CIDR Prefix carried in diffServMultiFieldClfrDstAddr. In IPv4 addresses, a length of 0 indicates a match of any address; a length of 32 indicates a match of a single host address, and a length between 0 and 32 indicates the use of a CIDR Prefix. IPv6 is similar, except that prefix lengths range from 0..128.
IP diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcAddr1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.5InetAddressread-createThe IP address to match against the packet's source IP address. This may not be a DNS name, but may be an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix. diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcPrefixLength indicates the number of bits that are relevant.
ADR diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcPrefixLength1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.6InetAddressPrefixLengthread-createThe length of the CIDR Prefix carried in diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcAddr. In IPv4 addresses, a length of 0 indicates a match of any address; a length of 32 indicates a match of a single host address, and a length between 0 and 32 indicates the use of a CIDR Prefix. IPv6 is similar, except that prefix lengths range from 0..128.
DSC diffServMultiFieldClfrDscp1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.7DscpOrAnyread-createThe value that the DSCP in the packet must have to match this entry. A value of -1 indicates that a specific DSCP value has not been defined and thus all DSCP values are considered a match.
U32 diffServMultiFieldClfrFlowId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.8Unsigned32read-createThe flow identifier in an IPv6 header.
U32 diffServMultiFieldClfrProtocol1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.9Unsigned32read-createThe IP protocol to match against the IPv4 protocol number or the IPv6 Next- Header number in the packet. A value of 255 means match all. Note the protocol number of 255 is reserved by IANA, and Next-Header number of 0 is used in IPv6.
INE diffServMultiFieldClfrDstL4PortMin1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.10InetPortNumberread-createThe minimum value that the layer-4 destination port number in the packet must have in order to match this classifier entry.
INE diffServMultiFieldClfrDstL4PortMax1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.11InetPortNumberread-createThe maximum value that the layer-4 destination port number in the packet must have in order to match this classifier entry. This value must be equal to or greater than the value specified for this entry in diffServMultiFieldClfrDstL4PortMin.
INE diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcL4PortMin1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.12InetPortNumberread-createThe minimum value that the layer-4 source port number in the packet must have in order to match this classifier entry.
INE diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcL4PortMax1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.13InetPortNumberread-createThe maximum value that the layer-4 source port number in the packet must have in order to match this classifier entry. This value must be equal to or greater than the value specified for this entry in diffServMultiFieldClfrSrcL4PortMin.
STO diffServMultiFieldClfrStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.14StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServMultiFieldClfrStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.2.6.1.15RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
diffServMeter1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3
NUM diffServMeterNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.1IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServMeterId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServMeterTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2not-accessibleThis table enumerates specific meters that a system may use to police a stream of traffic. The traffic stream to be metered is determined by the Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element(s) upstream of the meter i.e. by the object(s) that point to each entry in this table. This may include all traffic on an interface. Specific meter details are to be found in table entry referenced by diffServMeterSpecific.
diffServMeterEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1not-accessibleAn entry in the meter table describes a single conformance level of a meter.
NUM diffServMeterId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the Meter entries. Managers obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServMeterNextFree.
NUM diffServMeterSucceedNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.2RowPointerread-createIf the traffic does conform, this selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates that no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. The use of zeroDotZero is the normal usage for the last functional data path element of the current data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServMeterFailNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.3RowPointerread-createIf the traffic does not conform, this selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. The use of zeroDotZero is the normal usage for the last functional data path element of the current data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServMeterSpecific1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.4RowPointerread-createThis indicates the behavior of the meter by pointing to an entry containing detailed parameters. Note that entries in that specific table must be managed explicitly. For example, diffServMeterSpecific may point to an entry in diffServTBParamTable, which contains an instance of a single set of Token Bucket parameters. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the meter always succeeds.
STO diffServMeterStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.5StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServMeterStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.3.2.1.6RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
diffServTBParam1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4
NUM diffServTBParamNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.1IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServTBParamId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServTBParamTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2not-accessibleThis table enumerates a single set of token bucket meter parameters that a system may use to police a stream of traffic. Such meters are modeled here as having a single rate and a single burst size. Multiple entries are used when multiple rates/burst sizes are needed.
diffServTBParamEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1not-accessibleAn entry that describes a single set of token bucket parameters.
NUM diffServTBParamId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the Token Bucket Parameter entries. Managers obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServTBParamNextFree.
OID diffServTBParamType1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.2AutonomousTyperead-createThe Metering algorithm associated with the Token Bucket parameters. zeroDotZero indicates this is unknown. Standard values for generic algorithms: diffServTBParamSimpleTokenBucket, diffServTBParamAvgRate, diffServTBParamSrTCMBlind, diffServTBParamSrTCMAware, diffServTBParamTrTCMBlind, diffServTBParamTrTCMAware, and diffServTBParamTswTCM are specified in this MIB as OBJECT- IDENTITYs; additional values may be further specified in other MIBs.
U32 diffServTBParamRate1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.3Unsigned32read-createThe token-bucket rate, in kilobits per second (kbps). This attribute is used for: 1. CIR in RFC 2697 for srTCM 2. CIR and PIR in RFC 2698 for trTCM 3. CTR and PTR in RFC 2859 for TSWTCM 4. AverageRate in RFC 3290.
BUR diffServTBParamBurstSize1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.4BurstSizeread-createThe maximum number of bytes in a single transmission burst. This attribute is used for: 1. CBS and EBS in RFC 2697 for srTCM 2. CBS and PBS in RFC 2698 for trTCM 3. Burst Size in RFC 3290.
U32 diffServTBParamInterval1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.5Unsigned32read-createThe time interval used with the token bucket. For: 1. Average Rate Meter, the Informal Differentiated Services Model section 5.2.1, - Delta. 2. Simple Token Bucket Meter, the Informal Differentiated Services Model section 5.1, - time interval t. 3. RFC 2859 TSWTCM, - AVG_INTERVAL. 4. RFC 2697 srTCM, RFC 2698 trTCM, - token bucket update time interval.
STO diffServTBParamStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.6StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServTBParamStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.4.2.1.7RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
diffServAction1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5
NUM diffServActionNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.1IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServActionId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServActionTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2not-accessibleThe Action Table enumerates actions that can be performed to a stream of traffic. Multiple actions can be concatenated. For example, traffic exiting from a meter may be counted, marked, and potentially dropped before entering a queue. Specific actions are indicated by diffServActionSpecific which points to an entry of a specific action type parameterizing the action in detail.
diffServActionEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1not-accessibleEach entry in the action table allows description of one specific action to be applied to traffic.
NUM diffServActionId1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.1IndexIntegernot-accessibleAn index that enumerates the Action entries. Managers obtain new values for row creation in this table by reading diffServActionNextFree.
NUM diffServActionInterface1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.2InterfaceIndexOrZeroread-createThe interface index (value of ifIndex) that this action occurs on. This may be derived from the diffServDataPathStartEntry's index by extension through the various RowPointers. However, as this may be difficult for a network management station, it is placed here as well. If this is indeterminate, the value is zero. This is of especial relevance when reporting the counters which may apply to traffic crossing an interface: diffServCountActOctets, diffServCountActPkts, diffServAlgDropOctets, diffServAlgDropPkts, diffServAlgRandomDropOctets, and diffServAlgRandomDropPkts. It is also especially relevant to the queue and scheduler which may be subsequently applied.
NUM diffServActionNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.3RowPointerread-createThis selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. The use of zeroDotZero is the normal usage for the last functional data path element of the current data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServActionSpecific1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.4RowPointerread-createA pointer to an object instance providing additional information for the type of action indicated by this action table entry. For the standard actions defined by this MIB module, this should point to either a diffServDscpMarkActEntry or a diffServCountActEntry. For other actions, it may point to an object instance defined in some other MIB. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the Meter should be treated as if it were not present. This may lead to incorrect policy behavior.
STO diffServActionStorage1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.5StorageTyperead-createThe storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.
ROW diffServActionStatus1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.2.1.6RowStatusread-createThe status of this conceptual row. All writable objects in this row may be modified at any time. Setting this variable to 'destroy' when the MIB contains one or more RowPointers pointing to it results in destruction being delayed until the row is no longer used.
diffServDscpMarkActTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.3not-accessibleThis table enumerates specific DSCPs used for marking or remarking the DSCP field of IP packets. The entries of this table may be referenced by a diffServActionSpecific attribute.
diffServDscpMarkActEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.3.1not-accessibleAn entry in the DSCP mark action table that describes a single DSCP used for marking.
DSC diffServDscpMarkActDscp1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.3.1.1Dscpread-onlyThe DSCP that this Action will store into the DSCP field of the subject. It is quite possible that the only packets subject to this Action are already marked with this DSCP. Note also that Differentiated Services processing may result in packet being marked on both ingress to a network and on egress from it, and that ingress and egress can occur in the same router.
NUM diffServCountActNextFree1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.4IndexIntegerNextFreeread-onlyThis object contains an unused value for diffServCountActId, or a zero to indicate that none exist.
diffServCountActTable1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.5not-accessibleThis table contains counters for all the traffic passing through an action element.
diffServCountActEntry1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.5.1not-accessibleAn entry in the count action table describes a single set of traffic counters.

INT diffServAlgDropType1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.2INTEGERread-createThe type of algorithm used by this dropper. The value other(1) requires further specification in some other MIB module. In the tailDrop(2) algorithm, diffServAlgDropQThreshold represents the maximum depth of the queue, pointed to by diffServAlgDropQMeasure, beyond which all newly arriving packets will be dropped. In the headDrop(3) algorithm, if a packet arrives when the current depth of the queue, pointed to by diffServAlgDropQMeasure, is at diffServAlgDropQThreshold, packets currently at the head of the queue are dropped to make room for the new packet to be enqueued at the tail of the queue. In the randomDrop(4) algorithm, on packet arrival, an Active Queue Management algorithm is executed which may randomly drop a packet. This algorithm may be proprietary, and it may drop either the arriving packet or another packet in the queue. diffServAlgDropSpecific points to a diffServRandomDropEntry that describes the algorithm. For this algorithm, diffServAlgDropQThreshold is understood to be the absolute maximum size of the queue and additional parameters are described in diffServRandomDropTable. The alwaysDrop(5) algorithm is as its name specifies; always drop. In this case, the other configuration values in this Entry are not meaningful; There is no useful 'next' processing step, there is no queue, and parameters describing the queue are not useful. Therefore, diffServAlgDropNext, diffServAlgDropMeasure, and diffServAlgDropSpecific are all zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServAlgDropNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.3RowPointerread-createThis selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServQEntry A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. The use of zeroDotZero is the normal usage for the last functional data path element of the current data path. When diffServAlgDropType is alwaysDrop(5), this object is ignored. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
NUM diffServAlgDropQMeasure1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.4RowPointerread-createPoints to an entry in the diffServQTable to indicate the queue that a drop algorithm is to monitor when deciding whether to drop a packet. If the row pointed to does not exist, the algorithmic dropper element is considered inactive. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.
U32 diffServAlgDropQThreshold1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.5Unsigned32read-createA threshold on the depth in bytes of the queue being measured at which a trigger is generated to the dropping algorithm, unless diffServAlgDropType is alwaysDrop(5) where this object is ignored. For the tailDrop(2) or headDrop(3) algorithms, this represents the depth of the queue, pointed to by diffServAlgDropQMeasure, at which the drop action will take place. Other algorithms will need to define their own semantics for this threshold.
NUM diffServAlgDropSpecific1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.6RowPointerread-createPoints to a table entry that provides further detail regarding a drop algorithm. Entries with diffServAlgDropType equal to other(1) may have this point to a table defined in another MIB module. Entries with diffServAlgDropType equal to randomDrop(4) must have this point to an entry in diffServRandomDropTable. For all other algorithms specified in this MIB, this should take the value zeroDotZero. The diffServAlgDropType is authoritative for the type of the drop algorithm and the specific parameters for the drop algorithm needs to be evaluated based on the diffServAlgDropType. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

U32 diffServRandomDropProbMax1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.4.1.6Unsigned32read-createThe worst case random drop probability, expressed in drops per thousand packets. For example, if in the worst case every arriving packet may be dropped (100%) for a period, this has the value 1000. Alternatively, if in the worst case only one percent (1%) of traffic may be dropped, it has the value 10.
U32 diffServRandomDropWeight1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.4.1.7Unsigned32read-createThe weighting of past history in affecting the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average function that calculates the current average queue depth. The equation uses diffServRandomDropWeight/65536 as the coefficient for the new sample in the equation, and (65536 - diffServRandomDropWeight)/65536 as the coefficient of the old value. Implementations may limit the values of diffServRandomDropWeight to a subset of the possible range of values, such as powers of two. Doing this would facilitate implementation of the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average using shift instructions or registers.

NUM diffServQNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.7.2.1.2RowPointerread-createThis selects the next Differentiated Services Scheduler. The RowPointer must point to a diffServSchedulerEntry. A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates an incomplete diffServQEntry instance. In such a case, the entry has no operational effect, since it has no parameters to give it meaning. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

NUM diffServSchedulerNext1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.8.2.1.2RowPointerread-createThis selects the next Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This normally is null (zeroDotZero), or points to a diffServSchedulerEntry or a diffServQEntry. However, this RowPointer may also point to an instance of: diffServClfrEntry, diffServMeterEntry, diffServActionEntry, diffServAlgDropEntry. It would point another diffServSchedulerEntry when implementing multiple scheduler methods for the same data path, such as having one set of queues scheduled by WRR and that group participating in a priority scheduling system in which other queues compete with it in that way. It might also point to a second scheduler in a hierarchical scheduling system. If the row pointed to is zeroDotZero, no further Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

This attribute is used only when there is more than one level of scheduler. When it has the value zeroDotZero, it indicates that no minimum rate or priority is imposed. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

When more than one maximum rate applies (eg, when a multi-rate shaper is in view), it points to the first of those rate entries. This attribute is used only when there is more than one level of scheduler. When it has the value zeroDotZero, it indicates that no maximum rate is imposed. Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

Note that this attribute value and that of diffServMinRateRelative are coupled: changes to one will affect the value of the other.

A multi-rate shaper has some number of rate levels. Frame Relay's dual rate specification refers to a 'committed' and an 'excess' rate; ATM's dual rate specification refers to a 'mean' and a 'peak' rate. This table is generalized to support an arbitrary number of rates. The committed or mean rate is level 1, the peak rate (if any) is the highest level rate configured, and if there are other rates they are distributed in monotonically increasing order between them.

diffServSchedulers1.3.6.1.2.1.97.3.2
diffServSchedulerPriority1.3.6.1.2.1.97.3.2.1For use with diffServSchedulerMethod to indicate the Priority scheduling method. This is defined as an algorithm in which the presence of data in a queue or set of queues absolutely precludes dequeue from another queue or set of queues of lower priority. Note that attributes from diffServMinRateEntry of the queues/schedulers feeding this scheduler are used when determining the next packet to schedule.
diffServSchedulerWRR1.3.6.1.2.1.97.3.2.2For use with diffServSchedulerMethod to indicate the Weighted Round Robin scheduling method, defined as any algorithm in which a set of queues are visited in a fixed order, and varying amounts of traffic are removed from each queue in turn to implement an average output rate by class. Notice attributes from diffServMinRateEntry of the queues/schedulers feeding this scheduler are used when determining the next packet to schedule.
diffServSchedulerWFQ1.3.6.1.2.1.97.3.2.3For use with diffServSchedulerMethod to indicate the Weighted Fair Queuing scheduling method, defined as any algorithm in which a set of queues are conceptually visited in some order, to implement an average output rate by class. Notice attributes from diffServMinRateEntry of the queues/schedulers feeding this scheduler are used when determining the next packet to schedule.

RFC description

Defines management objects for Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture (RFC 3289), enabling monitoring and control of QoS mechanisms on network devices.

Start monitoring Router/Layer 3 switch implementing DiffServ QoS (vendor-neutral, RFC 3289) 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.
