What Is RAPIDCITY-VLAN-MIB?

RAPIDCITY-VLAN-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel vendor-specific MIB (registered under enterprises.2272, the 'rapidcity' branch) that models VLAN configuration for Rapid City-based switches, with the file noting minor adaptations for the C100/5000BH environment. Its rcVlanTable, indexed by rcVlanId, carries per-VLAN name, color-coding, routing-enable flag, assigned spanning-tree group (rcVlanStgId), VLAN classification type (byPort, byIpSubnet, byProtocolId, bySrcMac, byDstMcast), IP subnet address/mask for subnet-based VLANs, and 32-octet bitmask fields for port/potential/static membership, alongside an action/result pair (rcVlanAction/rcVlanResult) that lets an administrator trigger table flushes (MAC forwarding table, ARP table, IP route table) per VLAN. A scalar rcVlanNumVlans reports the total VLAN count, and rcVlanRowStatus provides RowStatus-based create/delete control. This gives an operator both VLAN provisioning control and a way to trigger corrective table flushes without a full switch reset. It depends on IF-MIB for the routed VLAN's InterfaceIndex and on legacy RFC1155-SMI/RFC-1212 imports for its SMIv1-era syntax. It is deployed on Nortel/Bay Networks Rapid City switches, and loading a RAPIDCITY-VLAN-MIB MIB Browser session is how an administrator would inspect or reconfigure VLANs on these devices.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RAPIDCITY-VLAN-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VLAN table entries (ID, name, type, port membership)
  • VLAN count scalar
  • VLAN action/result (flush MAC FDB/ARP/IP route table)
  • spanning tree group assignment per VLAN
  • VLAN row status (create/delete)

Supported Devices

  • Nortel/Bay Networks Rapid City-based switches (C100/5000BH series)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls rcVlanRoutingEnable and rcVlanIfIndex for a VLAN expected to be routed; an rcVlanIfIndex of zero despite rcVlanRoutingEnable being true would indicate the VLAN's routing interface never came up, explaining why inter-VLAN traffic for that segment is failing.
