Description: Configures policy-based QoS rules for traffic classification and action assignment.

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 RADLAN-POLICY-MIB?

RADLAN-POLICY-MIB originates from RADLAN Computer Communications, whose switch software/silicon stack underlies many OEM switch products (historically used by vendors such as Netgear and others), and it defines policy-based QoS traffic classification and action assignment. It exposes classifier configuration objects describing how many classification offsets are available, what operators are permitted for matching (OMPC criteria), and the actual classifier/rule definitions that map traffic patterns to actions. Its monitoring relevance is mainly configuration-state oriented: an administrator can verify which classification scheme and offset limits are in effect and audit the active policy rules and classifiers, rather than reading hardware environmental data, though misconfigured classifiers can directly explain unexpected QoS/traffic-handling behavior. It is a platform-level MIB tied to the RADLAN switch software stack and is used alongside standard QoS-related MIBs on switches built on that stack. It is deployed on OEM switches built on the RADLAN switching software/silicon platform, typically SMB-class managed Ethernet switches. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the RADLAN-POLICY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RADLAN-POLICY-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

  • OEM switch built on RADLAN switching software/silicon platform

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check rlPolicyMibVersion and rlPolicyFlowClassificationOffsetsGroupScheme to understand which classification scheme and version the switch is running, along with rlPolicyNumberOfOffsetsPerFlowClassificationOffsetGroup and rlPolicyFlowClassificationOffsetGroupMaximumOffset to confirm classifier capacity limits. Walking rlPolicyClassifier and rlPolicyRules reveals the actual configured classification rules and their permitted operators via rlPolicyOMPCPermittedOperators. If traffic is not being classified as expected, comparing the active rlPolicyClassifier entries against rlPolicyClassifierPlatDependParams would reveal a rule exceeding platform-dependent limits or an unsupported offset configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • policy classifier configuration
  • classification offset scheme and limits
  • permitted OMPC operators
  • configured policy rules

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rlPolicyRulesDroppedPackets OID:

Select an OEM switch built on RADLAN switching software/silicon platform (policy-based QoS classification) 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 rlPolicyRulesDroppedPackets 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 packets blocked by this filtering rule. 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.
