What Is RC-RIP-MIB?

RC-RIP-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel enterprise MIB for the Rapid-City (Accelar) product family of Layer 3 switches, providing management of RIP (Routing Information Protocol) configuration on a per-interface basis. It exposes routing-protocol configuration data -- whether RIP is enabled on an interface, its cost metric, default-route advertisement/acceptance policy, and route-poisoning/listen/supply behavior along with automatic route aggregation settings. Its monitoring value is primarily around software/protocol configuration status rather than physical hardware: verifying that RIP is enabled and correctly configured on interfaces that should be participating in dynamic routing, and catching a misconfigured cost or accidentally disabled interface that would disrupt route propagation. Being keyed by IP address and interface index, it depends implicitly on the standard IF-MIB interface table and IP addressing conventions for its indexing. It is deployed on Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar (Rapid-City) routing switches in enterprise campus and WAN edge networks running RIP, and administrators who need to download the RC-RIP-MIB module typically pull it from Nortel/Avaya's legacy MIB archives before compiling it into their SNMP management platform.

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

  • RIP enable status per interface
  • RIP interface cost/metric
  • default route accept/advertise policy
  • route poisoning/listen/supply settings
  • automatic route aggregation status

Supported Devices

  • Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar (Rapid-City) Layer 3 switches

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll rcIpRipInterfaceTable/rcIpRipInterfaceEntry, indexed by rcIpRipInterfaceAddress and rcIpRipInterfaceIfIndex, to confirm rcIpRipInterfaceRipEnable is set as expected on each routed interface and to check rcIpRipInterfaceCost for consistency with the intended routing policy. Unexpected values in rcIpRipInterfaceAccDefRte/rcIpRipInterfaceAdvDefRte would reveal an interface incorrectly accepting or advertising default routes, a common cause of routing loops or blackholes. rcIpRipInterfaceListen and rcIpRipInterfacePoison settings help diagnose why a neighboring router isn't receiving or is discarding expected route updates on that link.
