Description: Huawei BRAS COPS (Common Open Policy Service) MIB for managing policy provisioning between the broadband remote access server and policy server.
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 HUAWEI-BRAS-COPS-MIB?
HUAWEI-BRAS-COPS-MIB is a Huawei proprietary MIB for managing the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol interaction between a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) and an external policy/PDP server, used to enforce dynamic subscriber policies such as bandwidth or QoS control. It exposes configuration and status data about the COPS connection between the BRAS and its policy server, including policy provisioning session state. Its monitoring value is centered on software/service status: administrators use it to confirm that the COPS client on the BRAS maintains a healthy connection to the policy server and that policy decisions are being applied, since a failed or dropped COPS session would mean subscriber policy enforcement (e.g., bandwidth limits) silently stops working. It depends conceptually on the IETF COPS protocol standard (RFC 2748) that it manages an implementation of. It is typically deployed on Huawei BRAS platforms in broadband/ISP access networks where dynamic policy control from a centralized policy server is required. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-BRAS-COPS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-BRAS-COPS-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
- Huawei BRAS broadband access routers
Monitoring Examples
Since no sample_objects were provided for this MIB, exact object names cannot be grounded from source data, but consistent with its description an administrator would poll COPS session/connection state objects to confirm the BRAS maintains an active policy session with its configured policy server. A COPS session shown as down or repeatedly reconnecting would reveal that dynamic subscriber policy enforcement (e.g., bandwidth throttling) is not being applied. This MIB is oriented toward policy-session status rather than traffic counters.
What Can Be Monitored
- COPS session/connection status
- policy server connectivity
- policy provisioning state
