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-IPV6-MIB?

RC-IPV6-MIB is a Nortel/Bay Networks enterprise MIB for the Rapid-City/Accelar switch and router product family, covering IPv6 protocol configuration and operational status. It exposes global IPv6 admin/operational enable state, per-interface IPv6 addressing (interface identifier and length), multicast admin status, and ICMPv6 error-handling parameters such as error interval, quota, and specific error/redirect message counts. For monitoring purposes it is used to confirm that IPv6 is operationally enabled where expected, that interfaces have the correct IPv6 identifiers, and that ICMPv6 error rates (e.g., net-unreachable, redirects) are within normal bounds -- abnormal spikes can indicate routing misconfiguration or connectivity problems. It parallels IETF IPv6 MIB concepts (e.g., RFC 2465/4293-era IPv6 MIB work) though implemented as a Nortel enterprise MIB rather than the standard track. It is deployed on Nortel Accelar/Ethernet Routing Switch platforms in dual-stack or IPv6 enterprise/carrier networks needing vendor-specific visibility into IPv6 operation. Engineers can download the RC-IPV6-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-IPV6-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

  • Nortel/Bay Networks Rapid-City Accelar switch/router

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check rcIpv6GlobalAdminEnabled versus rcIpv6GlobalOperEnabled to confirm IPv6 is both configured and actually running on the device, then inspect rcIpv6InterfaceTable (rcIpv6InterfaceEntry) for rcIpv6InterfaceIdentifier per rcIpv6InterfaceIfIndex to verify interface addressing. A rising count of rcIpv6IcmpNetUnreach or rcIpv6IcmpRedirectMsg messages, monitored against the rcIpv6IcmpErrorQuota and rcIpv6IcmpErrorInterval rate-limiting settings, would flag IPv6 routing or reachability problems on the network segment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPv6 global admin/operational status
  • IPv6 interface addressing
  • ICMPv6 error message rates
  • IPv6 multicast administrative status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rcIpv6ConfDhcpNumRequests OID:

Select a Nortel/Bay Networks Rapid-City Accelar switch/router (IPv6 protocol configuration/status) 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 rcIpv6ConfDhcpNumRequests 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. The total number of DHCP requests seen on this interface. 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 Counter32-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.
