Description: Covers QoS on Ericsson routers, including policy maps, traffic shaping, scheduling, and congestion management.

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 ERICSSON-ROUTER-QOS-MIB?

ERICSSON-ROUTER-QOS-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Ericsson for their router product line, defining statistical counters used to monitor QoS-enabled subscriber circuits at the interface level. It exposes octet counters (including high-capacity 64-bit variants) for inbound and outbound traffic as well as dropped-traffic octet counters, plus per-queue statistics for interfaces with QoS scheduling enabled. Its core monitoring value is performance and traffic-health data: tracking how much traffic is passing versus being dropped on a QoS-enabled interface or per-queue basis, which surfaces congestion, oversubscription, or misconfigured shaping/policing that would otherwise silently degrade subscriber service. It explicitly depends on and extends the standard IETF IF-MIB, layering QoS-aware counters on top of interfaces that support ifPacketGroup/ifHCPacketGroup/ifVHCPacketGroup. It is deployed on Ericsson routers used in broadband/subscriber-aggregation networks where per-subscriber or per-circuit QoS enforcement needs visibility. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-QOS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-QOS-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

  • Ericsson router (broadband/subscriber-aggregation)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll eriRouterQosIfHCInOctets/eriRouterQosIfHCOutOctets alongside eriRouterQosIfHCInDroppedOctets/eriRouterQosIfHCOutDroppedOctets on eriRouterQosInterfaceTable to compute a drop ratio for a subscriber circuit, and check eriRouterQosInterfaceQueueStatsTable to see which specific queue is dropping traffic. A rising eriRouterQosIfOutDroppedOctets counter on an otherwise low-utilization interface would indicate a misconfigured policer or shaper rather than genuine congestion.

What Can Be Monitored

  • interface inbound/outbound octet counts
  • high-capacity (64-bit) traffic counters
  • dropped octet counts inbound/outbound
  • per-queue QoS statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using eriRouterQosIfInOctets OID:

Select an Ericsson router, broadband/subscriber-aggregation (QoS-enabled circuit statistics) 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 eriRouterQosIfInOctets 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. The total number of post-limited octets received on the interface, including framing characters. 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 sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, 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.
