Description: Documents Ericsson SmartEdge SNMP agent capabilities for the IETF SONET/SDH MIB on SmartEdge series BRAS.

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 RBN-IETF-SONET-CAP?

RBN-IETF-SONET-CAP is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module (Ericsson SmartEdge platforms) documenting a SmartEdge/SEOS SNMP agent's implementation coverage of the standard IETF SONET/SDH interface MIB (SONET-MIB). It carries no runtime data itself, only PRODUCT-RELEASE metadata naming applicable SmartEdge product families (MSER, SM, SSR) and SEOS software version, along with references to which SONET-MIB object groups and variations are supported. Its relevance to hardware status monitoring is indirect: it tells an NMS which SONET/SDH line and section-level performance and alarm objects (from the standard SONET-MIB) are actually available on a given SmartEdge platform, guiding what can be polled from that companion standard MIB rather than reporting SONET status directly. It has an explicit dependency on the standard IETF SONET-MIB, whose conformance it documents, and complements the vendor-specific RBN-APS-MIB used for protection switching on the same platforms. It is typically consulted during NMS onboarding for SmartEdge routers with SONET/SDH interfaces, not polled at runtime. Engineers can download the RBN-IETF-SONET-CAP file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RBN-IETF-SONET-CAP. 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

  • Ericsson SmartEdge MSER router
  • SmartEdge SM platform
  • Smart Service Router (SSR)

Monitoring Examples

This is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES module with no runtime data objects, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe from polling it; it exists solely to declare which parts of the standard IETF SONET-MIB are implemented on a given Ericsson SmartEdge SEOS release and product family.

Imported Objects

From RBN-SMI

rbnCapabilitiesOBJECT-IDENTITY

From SNMPv2-CONF
