Description: Manages Quanta Computer switch Class of Service (CoS) queue configuration, scheduling, and 802.1p priority mapping.

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 QOS-COS-MIB?

QOS-COS-MIB is a Quanta Computer vendor MIB for managing Class of Service (CoS) queueing on Quanta-based network switches, part of a QoS/Flex package covering queue scheduling and 802.1p priority-to-queue mapping. Its sample objects show only the top-level agentCosQueueCfgGroup conformance group, indicating the visible excerpt is a configuration-group container rather than detailed leaf tables. In deployment such a MIB would expose configuration for how many CoS queues exist per port, their scheduling weights, and priority mappings, which an operator uses to verify traffic prioritization is correctly configured to protect latency-sensitive traffic (e.g., voice or control-plane traffic) during congestion. It depends on standard 802.1p/802.1Q class-of-service conventions and likely the vendor's broader QoS MIB suite. It is deployed on Quanta-manufactured (often white-box/ODM) Ethernet switches used in data center and enterprise networks. Engineers can download the QOS-COS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Quanta Computer Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

Given only agentCosQueueCfgGroup is available in the sample, a specific monitoring scenario cannot be grounded beyond noting this is a CoS queue configuration group. In practice an admin managing such a switch would expect to poll per-port queue configuration and 802.1p-to-queue mapping tables under this group to confirm priority traffic is assigned to the correct queue. Detailed queue-depth or drop-counter objects are not visible in this excerpt.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentCosQueueCNPriorityCNMCount OID:

Select a Quanta Computer Ethernet switch (Class of Service queueing) 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 agentCosQueueCNPriorityCNMCount 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. It reports the show the priority queue CN message count. 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.
