Description: Manages IPFIX and NetFlow traffic flow export configuration and statistics on Bay Networks Rapid-City series switches.

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 RC-IPFIX-MIB?

RC-IPFIX-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City proprietary MIB configuring IPFIX (IP Flow Information Export) flow export on Rapid-City-based switches. Its objects cover a global configuration/running-state pair and a per-slot configuration table (aging interval, active timeout, export interval/state, template refresh interval in seconds and packets), alongside a collector table (per slot) recording the export destination address, transport protocol, destination port, exporter address, protocol version, and row status. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm flow records are being exported to the intended collector with the expected timing parameters. It is deployed on Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City-based switches. Engineers can download the RC-IPFIX-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-IPFIX-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.

Supported Devices

Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City-based switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks rcIpfixCollectorAddress and rcIpfixCollectorState to confirm flow export is correctly reaching the intended IPFIX collector before relying on that data for traffic analysis.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rcIpfixHashStatsHashOverflows OID:

Select a Bay Networks/Nortel Rapid-City-based switch (IPFIX flow export configuration) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type rcIpfixHashStatsHashOverflows into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the count of hash overflows per slot. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
