What Is RBN-DS3-MIB?

RBN-DS3-MIB is a Redback Networks/Ericsson SmartEdge MIB that extends standard DS3/E3 (T3) physical-layer interface management with vendor-specific configuration, performance, and alarm objects beyond what standard IETF DS3/E3 MIBs provide. It exposes per-circuit configuration data (rbnDsx3ConfigTable) alongside alarm state including severity and service-affecting flags for DS3/E3 lines. From a monitoring perspective it is used to track the hardware/physical-layer health of DS3/E3 trunk interfaces -- detecting line alarm conditions, signal degradation, and service-impacting faults on high-speed transport circuits -- complementing counters from the standard MIB rather than replacing them. It explicitly builds on and extends standards-track DS3/E3 interface MIBs, adding Redback-specific alarm and configuration detail. The RBN-DS3-MIB MIB is deployed on Ericsson SmartEdge/SSR edge routers that terminate DS3/E3 trunk circuits, typically in carrier access and aggregation networks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RBN-DS3-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

  • DS3/E3 line configuration
  • DS3/E3 alarm severity
  • service-affecting fault status

Supported Devices

  • Ericsson SmartEdge Multi-service Edge Router (MSER)
  • Ericsson Smart Service Router (SSR)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll rbnDsx3ConfigTable/rbnDsx3ConfigEntry to check DS3/E3 line configuration on a trunk interface, and watch rbnDsx3AlarmSeverity and rbnDsx3AlarmServiceAffecting for a given circuit to detect a line fault (e.g., loss of signal or frame) actively degrading customer traffic. Rising alarm severity combined with service-affecting=true on a specific DS3 port would prompt escalation to check physical cabling or the far-end carrier circuit. Objects under rbnDs3MIBObjects, governed by rbnDs3MIBGroups/rbnDs3MIBCompliances, define the scope of what a compliant agent implementation must expose for this monitoring.
