RBN-IP-SECURITY-MIB

Description: Manages IP access control lists and security policy configuration on Ericsson SmartEdge BRAS platforms.

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.

RBN-IP-SECURITY-MIB is an Ericsson (formerly Redback Networks) enterprise MIB for the SmartEdge family of broadband remote access server (BRAS) and multi-service edge routers, covering management of IPsec security associations and tunnels. It exposes data on IPsec tunnel identity, type, remote peer identification, local address context, and event/fault information such as tunnel-down causes and severity-classified security events. Though focused on security configuration rather than raw hardware health, it supports monitoring of software-level status by tracking IPsec tunnel operational state, session teardown causes, and event timestamps/severities that reveal whether the VPN/tunnel service is functioning correctly. It builds on standard SNMPv2-SMI/SNMPv2-TC conventions and Ericsson's RBN enterprise MIB tree rather than IETF IPsec MIBs. It is typically deployed by network operators monitoring subscriber-facing or site-to-site IPsec tunnels terminated on SmartEdge BRAS platforms. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the RBN-IP-SECURITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator would poll rbnIpSecTunnelIdentifier and rbnIpSecTunnelName alongside rbnIpSecTunnelType to enumerate active IPsec tunnels, and check rbnIpSecTunnelDownCause when a tunnel drops to distinguish a peer-initiated teardown from a local policy or key-negotiation failure. The rbnIpSecEventSeverity, rbnIpSecEventType, and rbnIpSecEventProbableCause objects (fed via rbnIpSecNotifications traps) let an NMS flag security-relevant events such as authentication failures or renegotiations in near real time. rbnIpSecRemoteId and rbnIpSecRemoteIdType allow correlating a specific tunnel event back to the remote peer identity, and rbnIpSecLocalAddrContextName ties tunnels to specific routing contexts on multi-tenant SmartEdge devices.

RedBack Networks (now Ericsson) enterprise MIB for IP security monitoring and configuration on networking equipment, supporting SNMP management of IPSec and related security functions.
