QOSSLA-MIB

Description: Manages Nortel Networks QoS SLA policy configuration, service level objectives, and SLA compliance monitoring.

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.

QOSSLA-MIB is a Nortel Networks module for defining and monitoring Quality-of-Service Service Level Agreement (SLA) policies, including threshold definitions and compliance notifications. It centers on an SLA index and associated threshold-type, effect-type, and dual threshold-value objects that let an administrator define what metric is being watched (e.g., delay, jitter, loss) and at what values an SLA violation or corrective effect should trigger. Its monitoring role is squarely around service-level compliance: the module raises SLA notifications/traps when a monitored QoS metric crosses a configured threshold, which is a performance and service-health signal rather than a hardware fault. It depends on the broader Nortel QoS framework MIBs that supply the actual traffic metrics being measured against these SLA thresholds. It is deployed in Nortel-based carrier or enterprise networks where SLA compliance for prioritized traffic classes must be tracked and alerted on automatically. Engineers can download the QOSSLA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would configure nnqosSlaIndex with an nnqosSlaThresholdType and two threshold values (nnqosSlaThresholdValue1, nnqosSlaThresholdValue2) to define, for example, acceptable and critical latency bounds for a traffic class. When the actual measured metric crosses these bounds, the device raises an SLA notification from the nnqosSLATraps group with an nnqosSlaEffectType indicating the configured response, alerting the operator that a service-level agreement is at risk of being violated.

Monitors Quality of Service and Service Level Agreement metrics including latency and packet loss.
