ENTERASYS-APPLICATION-SIGNATURE-MIB

Description: Extreme/Enterasys Networks MIB for managing custom application signature definitions used in application-aware QoS policies.

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.

ENTERASYS-APPLICATION-SIGNATURE-MIB is a proprietary Enterasys/Extreme Networks MIB for defining and managing custom application signatures used to classify traffic for application-aware QoS policies. It exposes tables for signature groups, human-readable display names, and the underlying match patterns used to identify specific applications on the wire. Its monitoring role is configuration-oriented: it lets an administrator verify which custom application signatures and groups have been provisioned on the device, confirming that a newly added signature pattern is correctly registered before relying on it for QoS classification, rather than reporting hardware health or fault data. As a vendor-specific classification extension it has no dependency on a standard IETF MIB. It is deployed on Enterasys/Extreme Networks switches performing deep packet inspection-based application classification for QoS or policy enforcement. Engineers can download the ENTERASYS-APPLICATION-SIGNATURE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would walk etsysAppSignGroupTable/etsysAppSignGroupEntry to list configured signature groups by etsysAppSignGroupId and etsysAppSignGroupName, then check etsysAppSignDisplayNameTable to confirm the friendly names shown in policy tools match what was intended. etsysAppSignPatternTable/etsysAppSignPatternIndex would be inspected to verify the actual byte/pattern definitions behind a signature after a configuration push, catching a misconfigured or missing pattern that would cause a QoS policy to silently fail to classify the target application traffic. This MIB is entirely about signature definition/configuration rather than runtime traffic statistics.
