Description: MIB for Quality of Service queue and policy configuration on Netgear NG700 smart switches using Broadcom FastPath firmware
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 NETGEAR-QOS-MIB?
NETGEAR-QOS-MIB defines Quality of Service queue and policy configuration objects for Netgear NG700-series smart switches running Broadcom FastPath firmware. As a QoS Flex package MIB, it exposes configuration data for traffic classification, queue assignment, scheduling weights, and rate-limiting policies applied to switch ports, alongside status objects reflecting whether a given QoS policy is currently applied and active. Though centered on configuration, it also serves a software-status monitoring role, letting engineers confirm that QoS policies and queue mappings are correctly applied and operational on the switch's forwarding software, which matters for diagnosing packet loss or latency under congestion. It depends on underlying interface indexing (IF-MIB) and aligns conceptually with the standards-based DIFFSERV-MIB model for classifying and marking traffic. Typical deployment is in small-to-midsize business or branch networks using Netgear NG700 smart switches to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP or video over best-effort data. Locating the correct NETGEAR-QOS-MIB OID branch lets an engineer poll per-port queue and policy-status objects directly when troubleshooting QoS behavior on these switches.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-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
- Netgear NG700-series smart switch
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll per-port QoS queue configuration and policy-map assignment objects to confirm that a VoIP VLAN's traffic is mapped to a high-priority queue with the expected scheduling weight. If queue-drop or policy-status objects show a policy failed to apply or a queue is misconfigured, it would explain observed voice-quality degradation or jitter on that port. Since sample_objects were not provided, this scenario is inferred from the module's stated purpose of QoS queue and policy management on FastPath firmware.
What Can Be Monitored
- QoS policy assignment per port
- queue scheduling configuration
- traffic classification rules
- QoS policy application status
- rate-limiting configuration
