What Is RBN-ALARM-TC?
RBN-ALARM-TC is a Redback Networks textual-conventions module that defines shared alarm-related data types - severity levels, alarm states, and alarm/event type enumerations - used consistently across Redback's family of alarm and fault-management MIBs (Redback being a broadband edge-router vendor later acquired by Ericsson). As a TC-only module it defines no pollable objects itself, so it carries no interface, environment, or performance data directly. It has no direct monitoring role of its own, but it underpins how Redback's actual alarm/fault MIBs - which report conditions such as hardware faults (e.g., power/fan issues) or software/process faults - represent severity and state, enabling consistent alarm interpretation across the product line. Virtually every Redback alarm-reporting MIB depends on the RBN-ALARM-TC MIB for its type definitions. It would be encountered wherever Redback (or post-acquisition Ericsson) SmartEdge subscriber-management routers are monitored for fault/alarm conditions.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RBN-ALARM-TC. 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
- Redback Networks (Ericsson) SmartEdge broadband/subscriber-management routers
Monitoring Examples
This is a textual-conventions-only module with no runtime data objects, so no concrete monitoring scenario applies here; Redback's alarm/fault MIBs import these severity/state enumerations to represent hardware and software alarm conditions consistently.
