What Is RDN-PKTCABLE-GROUP-MIB?

RDN-PKTCABLE-GROUP-MIB is a Motorola-specific MIB module that manages PacketCable Dynamic Quality of Service (DQoS) service flow groups and QoS gate configuration on Motorola BSR (Broadband Services Router) CMTS platforms used in cable broadband networks. It exposes configuration and status data for the COPS (Common Open Policy Service) protocol session used between the CMTS and the PacketCable policy server, including timers, client parameters, and trap enable flags. The MIB is primarily used to monitor the software-level status of the COPS/DQoS signaling subsystem, specifically the COPS session state, timer expirations (T0, T1, T3, T6), and whether event/notification traps are enabled, letting an operator detect signaling failures or misconfiguration before they affect voice/video QoS provisioning. It builds on and depends on the PacketCable/PacketCable MultiMedia specifications and the underlying COPS protocol standard, so its objects are meaningful only in that architectural context. This MIB is typically deployed by cable MSOs managing Motorola BSR CMTS headend equipment supporting PacketCable-based VoIP/multimedia services, and operators typically complete an RDN-PKTCABLE-GROUP-MIB download from Motorola/Arris archives to compile it into their NMS.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RDN-PKTCABLE-GROUP-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 CMTS (cable headend)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polling rdnPktDQoSCOPSStatus can determine whether the COPS connection between the CMTS and the policy server (identified by rdnPktDQoSCMTSIp and rdnPktDQoSPEPID) is currently up or down. Monitoring rdnPktDQoST1Timer and rdnPktDQoST3Timer values alongside rdnPktDQoSCopsTrapEnable helps detect repeated COPS keepalive/reconnect timer expirations, indicating a flapping or failed policy server connection. If rdnPktDQoSResReqTrapEnable is set and reservation request traps start firing frequently, it signals a QoS gate provisioning problem affecting subscriber service flows.

What Can Be Monitored

  • COPS session status
  • COPS timer expirations (T0/T1/T3/T6)
  • PacketCable DQoS trap enable state
  • CMTS-to-policy-server connectivity
  • emergency service trap status
