Description: Enterasys Networks MIB for configuring per-user policy profiles that define access rules and QoS on network edge devices.

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 ENTERASYS-POLICY-PROFILE-MIB?

ENTERASYS-POLICY-PROFILE-MIB is an Enterasys Networks proprietary MIB for configuring per-user/per-port policy profiles that define access control and QoS treatment on Enterasys network edge and access devices. It exposes a policy profile table (name, VLAN/VID assignment, priority settings, row status) along with counters for the number/maximum of profiles and last-change tracking, plus associated notifications. This is primarily a configuration-state MIB: monitoring it lets an administrator verify how many policy profiles are defined versus the device maximum, confirm a specific profile's VLAN and priority settings are correctly applied, and detect recent policy changes via the last-change object and notifications -- a software/configuration health indicator rather than physical hardware status. It is a proprietary Enterasys enterprise MIB that works alongside other Enterasys policy and classification MIBs (etsysPolicyClassification is referenced in the same subtree) to build a complete edge-policy framework. It is typically deployed on Enterasys switches and wireless access/edge products where administrators enforce differentiated network access and QoS policy per user or port, using ENTERASYS-POLICY-PROFILE-MIB SNMP monitoring to verify those policies stay correctly applied.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ENTERASYS-POLICY-PROFILE-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

  • Enterasys Networks switch/access edge device

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll etsysPolicyProfileNumEntries against etsysPolicyProfileMaxEntries to confirm the device has capacity for new profiles, and inspect etsysPolicyProfileTable entries (etsysPolicyProfileName, etsysPolicyProfilePortVid, etsysPolicyProfilePriorityStatus) to verify a given profile assigns the expected VLAN and priority. A recent etsysPolicyProfileLastChange timestamp combined with an etsysPolicyNotifications trap would alert on an unexpected policy modification.

What Can Be Monitored

  • number of policy profiles vs. maximum capacity
  • policy profile VLAN/VID assignment
  • policy profile priority settings
  • row status of policy profile entries
  • last policy profile change timestamp

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using etsysInvalidPolicyCount OID:

Select an Enterasys Networks switch (legacy, later Extreme Networks)/access edge device (per-user policy profiles) 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 etsysInvalidPolicyCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Increments to indicate the number of times the device has detected an invalid/unknown policy. 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.
