Description: Provides evolved Policy Information Base objects for QoS policy provisioning on Avaya/Nortel network 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 NTN-QOS-POLICY-EVOL-PIB?

NTN-QOS-POLICY-EVOL-PIB is an Avaya/Nortel Policy Information Base (PIB) module, an evolved Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning schema used with policy-based networking on Nortel/Avaya network devices. It defines configuration-oriented data structures describing interface QoS roles and capabilities (ntnQosInterfaceTypeTable) and queue-set priority assignments (ntnQosQsetPriAssignmentTable), rather than fault or environmental telemetry. Its value in device monitoring is configuration/state visibility: administrators can verify which QoS roles, classes, and capabilities are provisioned on an interface, and whether queue-set priority mappings match intended policy, rather than tracking hardware health metrics like temperature or CPU load. As a PIB module it conceptually depends on the broader IETF policy-based networking framework (e.g., COPS-PR/PIB conventions) even though it is expressed here in MIB form. It is typically deployed on Nortel/Avaya switches and routers where centralized policy servers push or verify QoS provisioning state. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the NTN-QOS-POLICY-EVOL-PIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NTN-QOS-POLICY-EVOL-PIB. 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

  • Avaya/Nortel network switches and routers
  • vendor-specific QoS-capable networking equipment

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ntnQosInterfaceTypeTable (rows keyed by ntnQosInterfaceTypeId) to confirm the configured ntnQosInterfaceTypeRoles and ntnQosInterfaceTypeCapabilities on a given interface, and check ntnQosInterfaceTypeStatus to ensure the row is active. Cross-referencing ntnQosQsetPriAssignmentTable (via ntnQosQsetPriAssignmentQset) reveals whether queue-set-to-priority mappings match intended QoS policy; a mismatch would explain unexpected traffic prioritization behavior on the device.

What Can Be Monitored

  • QoS interface type/role configuration
  • interface QoS capabilities
  • interface type row status
  • queue-set priority assignments

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ntnQosCountActOctets OID:

Select an Avaya/Nortel network switch or router (QoS policy provisioning) 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 ntnQosCountActOctets 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 number of octets processed by the associated data path element (e.g., policy, meter). 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 Counter64-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.
