What Is RDN-MODULES-MIB?
RDN-MODULES-MIB is a Motorola enterprise MIB for the BSR (Broadband Services Router) CMTS platform that defines objects for managing the chassis's pluggable line/service modules. It exposes module inventory and identification data such as module type and the slot each module occupies, forming the hardware-inventory layer that other Motorola BSR MIBs (such as slot and sensor MIBs) build upon. Its monitoring value lies in tracking hardware presence and status: an operator uses it to confirm which modules are installed, detect when a module is missing, mismatched, or has failed, and correlate module identity with chassis slot for field service. It works alongside the related RDN-SLOTS-MIB (slot definitions) and RDN-SENSOR-TYPE-MIB (sensor classifications) as part of the same Motorola BSR chassis-management MIB family. The RDN-MODULES-MIB MIB is deployed on Motorola BSR CMTS platforms in cable operator head-ends where module presence and health directly affect DOCSIS service delivery.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RDN-MODULES-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
- Motorola BSR (Broadband Services Router) CMTS chassis
Monitoring Examples
No specific object or table names were provided in the sample for this module, so concrete OIDs cannot be cited, but based on its stated purpose an operator would expect to poll a module inventory table for each slot's module type and operational/administrative status. A mismatch between an expected module type and the type reported for a given slot, or a module reporting a non-operational state, would flag a hardware fault or an incorrectly seated line card. This kind of check is typically run alongside the companion RDN-SLOTS-MIB to correlate module identity with slot occupancy.
What Can Be Monitored
- installed module type per slot
- module operational/administrative status
- module presence/absence detection
