What Is RC-POS-MIB?
RC-POS-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel (Rapid-City/Accelar) enterprise MIB managing Packet over SONET (POS) interfaces, covering SONET framing/alarm configuration and detailed traffic statistics for POS ports. It exposes performance counters (input/output errors, unknown protocols, high-capacity octet and unicast/multicast/broadcast packet counts, discards) alongside SONET-specific alarm traps, giving both traffic-performance and physical-layer fault visibility. For hardware/software status monitoring it is squarely a performance-counter and fault MIB: it lets an operator track error rates and discards on POS links to catch a degrading SONET circuit, and the SONET trap notifications flag physical-layer alarms (e.g. loss of signal/frame) as they occur. It builds on general interface statistics concepts similar to IF-MIB's high-capacity counters but is implemented as a Nortel/Bay proprietary enterprise MIB for SONET-equipped Accelar/Passport chassis. It is deployed on Nortel/Bay Networks switches/routers with POS line cards carrying SONET/SDH-framed IP traffic, typically in service-provider backbone or aggregation roles. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the RC-POS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-POS-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
- POS input/output error counts
- high-capacity traffic counters (octets, unicast/multicast/broadcast)
- discard counts
- SONET alarm traps
Supported Devices
- Nortel/Bay Networks Accelar/Passport switch with POS line cards
Monitoring Examples
An administrator polls rcStatPosControlTable/rcStatPosControlEntry, indexed by rcStatPosControlPortIndex, watching rcStatPosControlInErrors, rcStatPosControlOutErrors, and rcStatPosControlHCInDiscards to detect a degrading SONET circuit before it fails outright. A rising rcStatPosControlInUnknownProtos count alongside error growth could indicate a framing mismatch with the far-end device, while a rcPosSonetTrap notification would immediately flag a SONET alarm condition such as loss of signal on that port.
