Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is RBN-ATM-PROFILE-MIB?

RBN-ATM-PROFILE-MIB is a private MIB from Redback Networks (SmartEdge platform) defining ATM traffic profiles, including QoS and traffic-descriptor parameters used for provisioning permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). It exposes a profile table with named entries specifying counters-enabled flags, cell loss priority, and transmit buffer settings applied to ATM circuits. This is primarily a configuration/provisioning MIB for QoS enforcement rather than a direct hardware/software health monitor, though the counters-enabled flag does govern whether related performance monitoring is active. It extends standards-track ATM traffic management concepts (ATM Forum/ITU traffic descriptors) with Redback-specific profile grouping. It is typically deployed on Redback SmartEdge broadband aggregation routers to standardize QoS treatment across many subscriber ATM PVCs, with the RBN-ATM-PROFILE-MIB MIB defining the profile objects that make that standardization possible.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RBN-ATM-PROFILE-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rbnAtmProfileTable entries, indexed by rbnAtmProfileName, to review rbnAtmCellLossPriority and rbnAtmTransmitBuffers settings applied to a group of subscriber circuits, confirming QoS provisioning matches the intended service tier. If rbnAtmCountersEnabled is set to false for a profile, an operator would know that per-circuit performance counters for those PVCs are not being collected, explaining an apparent lack of statistics elsewhere.

What Can Be Monitored

ATM profile name and assignment
cell loss priority setting
transmit buffer allocation
counters-enabled flag per profile

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rbnAtmProfileMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2			The MIB for instrumenting parameters associated with an ATM profile (traffic descriptor) beyond those instrumented by standards-track MIBs.
rbnAtmProfileMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1
rbnAtmProfileTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1		not-accessible	This table provides a collection of auxiliary objects providing parameters for atm profiles.
rbnAtmProfileEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1.1		not-accessible	Each entry in this table represents a profile.
ATM rbnAtmProfileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1.1.1	AtmProfileName	read-create	The textual handle assigned to an instance of the rbnAtmProfileTable (and via augmentation, the atmTrafficDescrParamTable). Using a textual handle instead of an arbitrary integer (such as atmTrafficDescrParamIndex) allows a configuration to contain human-friendly cross-references to the profiles from those places where they are used, such as in circuit configuration tables.
T/F rbnAtmCountersEnabled	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1.1.2	TruthValue	read-create	An indication as to whether circuits configured with this profile should enable per-circuit statistical counters. An ATM circuit will only keep per-circuit statistical counters if this object is set to true(1) in the profile being used by the circuit.
T/F rbnAtmCellLossPriority	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1.1.3	TruthValue	read-create	An indication as to whether circuits configured with this profile should enable the Cell Loss Priority (CLP) bit on transmitted cells. If the profile being used by a circuit has this object set to true(1), then all cells transmitted on that circuit will have the CLP bit set.
I32 rbnAtmTransmitBuffers	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.1.1.1.4	Integer32	read-create	This object limits the total number of outbound transmit packet buffers that may be consumed by the circuit that references the profile. Note well that this parameter should be used with caution. Improper setting can have severe consequences on overall system performance.
rbnAtmProfileMIBConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.2
rbnAtmProfileMIBGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.2.1
rbnAtmProfileGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.2.1.1			A collection of objects providing supplemental AAL5 VCL information beyond that supplied by IETF standards-track MIBs
rbnAtmProfileMIBCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.2.2
rbnAtmProfileMIBCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.2.2.2.1			The compliance statement for RedBack Networks SNMP entities which represent AAL5 VCL statistics
