What Is RC-IP-PIM-MIB?
RC-IP-PIM-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City "Accelar" enterprise MIB managing PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) routing, including rendezvous points, bootstrap router state, and neighbor state on Accelar-series switches. It exposes global PIM configuration (mode, timers), rendezvous-point and bootstrap-router (BSR) configuration and state, and interface-table sizing objects. It is used to monitor the software/protocol-level status of multicast routing — whether PIM is enabled, which router currently holds the bootstrap-router role, and configured RP/timer values — helping detect multicast routing convergence issues or RP failures, rather than any physical hardware attribute. As a Rapid-City/Accelar family enterprise MIB, it is designed to be used alongside sibling rc-* MIBs such as RC-TLS-MIB on the same switch platform, and its concepts parallel the standard PIM-MIB. It is deployed by service providers and enterprises running Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar/Passport switches, where RC-IP-PIM-MIB SNMP polling supports IP multicast routing such as video or streaming distribution.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-IP-PIM-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
- PIM global enable/mode
- current bootstrap router
- rendezvous point configuration
- PIM timers
- interface table utilization
Supported Devices
- Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar/Passport switches
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll rcIpPimGlobalEnable and rcIpPimGlobalMode to confirm PIM is active in the expected mode, then check rcIpPimCurrBsr to see which router currently holds the bootstrap-router role, and rcIpPimGlobalStaticRP against rcIpPimGlobalCRPADVTimeOut to verify rendezvous-point configuration and advertisement timing. An unexpected change in rcIpPimCurrBsr, or a rendezvous point stuck at rcIpPimGlobalDiscardDataTimeOut, would indicate a multicast routing convergence problem in the network.
