Description: Provides SNMP management objects for Packeteer (Blue Coat) WAN optimization appliance configuration and statistics.

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 PACKETEER-MIB?

This is a Packeteer (later acquired by Blue Coat Systems) enterprise MIB that provides SNMP management objects for the PacketShaper family of WAN optimization and traffic-shaping appliances. It exposes configuration and statistics data related to bandwidth partitioning, traffic classes, and link utilization used to control and prioritize WAN traffic. Administrators use it to monitor both software status (policy/partition configuration) and performance counters (bandwidth utilization, packet counts per class) of the appliance, giving insight into whether traffic shaping policies are behaving as expected, though it is less focused on physical hardware sensors like temperature or fans. As a standalone vendor MIB, it does not appear to have strong dependencies on other IETF standard MIBs beyond baseline SNMP framework conventions. It is typically deployed at WAN edge locations where Packeteer/Blue Coat PacketShaper appliances shape and prioritize traffic for enterprise branch or data center links, where PACKETEER-MIB SNMP monitoring helps confirm traffic-shaping policies are behaving as intended.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PACKETEER-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

  • Packeteer/Blue Coat PacketShaper WAN optimization appliance

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll partition- and class-level utilization objects on a PacketShaper appliance to check current throughput against configured bandwidth caps for a given traffic class. A traffic class consistently exceeding its allotted partition would reveal a misconfigured policy or an unexpected surge in application traffic consuming WAN bandwidth. Because no sample objects were provided, exact table names would need to be verified against the compiled MIB tree, but typical objects follow class/partition statistics patterns that help operators keep interactive traffic prioritized over bulk transfers on constrained WAN links.

What Can Be Monitored

  • traffic class bandwidth utilization
  • partition configuration
  • packet counts per class
  • policy/shaping status
