Description: Manages SNA protocol bridging and encapsulation settings on Radlan switch platforms.
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-SNA-MIB?
RADLAN-SNA-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from RADLAN (a switch software/silicon supplier whose stack is embedded in many OEM switches) used to manage SNA (Systems Network Architecture) protocol bridging and encapsulation settings for legacy mainframe traffic carried over Ethernet switches. The only grounded sample object, rlSnaNextFreeSessionId, indicates it tracks SNA session allocation, implying a broader session table exists for managing individual SNA client-server sessions. Its monitoring value is software/protocol-state focused: tracking active SNA session counts and availability of session IDs, which reflects whether the SNA gateway/bridging function is healthy and has capacity for new sessions rather than exposing hardware sensors. It likely depends on RADLAN's broader private MIB suite and standard bridging conventions for the underlying switch. It is deployed on RADLAN-based switch platforms bridging legacy SNA traffic in mixed mainframe/Ethernet environments. Engineers can download the RADLAN-SNA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RADLAN-SNA-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
- RADLAN-based switch platforms
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll rlSnaNextFreeSessionId to determine the next available SNA session identifier, and a value that stops incrementing or reaches a ceiling would indicate the SNA session table is exhausted, blocking new SNA client-server sessions from being established. This is a useful early-warning indicator of SNA gateway capacity problems on the switch before end users experience failed mainframe connections.
What Can Be Monitored
- next available SNA session ID
- SNA session table utilization
