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 REDSTONE-ACCOUNTING-MIB?

REDSTONE-ACCOUNTING-MIB is an enterprise MIB from Redstone Communications for configuring and monitoring subscriber accounting/billing record collection on Redstone Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) platforms. It exposes objects for selecting which accounting records to generate (rsAcctngSelectionTable), controlling accounting file generation and transfer mode/index (rsAcctngFileTable), and per-interface accounting admin status (rsAcctngInterfaceTable). Its monitoring role is software/process status oriented: confirming accounting collection is enabled per interface, that accounting files are being generated and transferred (xfer mode/index) as expected, and catching a stalled or misconfigured accounting selection that would silently stop usage-billing data from being produced. It commonly works alongside RADIUS/AAA-related MIBs and standard interface MIBs since accounting is tied to subscriber interfaces, though no specific dependency is stated in the source. It's deployed in Redstone BRAS-based broadband access networks where subscriber usage accounting records must be reliably collected and exported for billing, and a REDSTONE-ACCOUNTING-MIB download provides the object definitions operators load into their billing-system MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in REDSTONE-ACCOUNTING-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check rsAcctngInterfaceAdminStatus per rsAcctngInterfaceEntry to confirm accounting is enabled on subscriber-facing interfaces, and monitor rsAcctngFileXferMode/rsAcctngFileXferIndex in rsAcctngFileTable to verify accounting files are being rotated and transferred off the BRAS as expected. A stalled or unchanging rsAcctngFileXferIndex would indicate the accounting file transfer process has stopped, risking loss of subscriber usage records.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rsAcctngMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24			The accounting MIB for the Redstone Communications Inc. enterprise.
rsAcctngMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1
rsAcctngSelectionControl	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.1
rsAcctngSelectionTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.1.1		not-accessible	A list of accounting information selection entries. Note that additions, modifications and deletions of entries in this table can occur at any time, but such changes only take effect on the next occasion when collection begins into a new file. Thus, between modification and the next 'swap', the content of this table does not reflect the current selection.
rsAcctngSelectionEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	An entry used to extend the the selection entry in acctngSelectionEntry. This conceptual row extension is used for Redstone accounting extensions for connectionless data collection.
BIT rsAcctngSelectionType	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.1.1.1.1	Bits	read-create	Indicates the types of connections for which the information selected by this entry are to be collected. The ietfAccountControl(0) bit position indicates that the acctngSelectionType in the base conceptual row determines the selection type. All other bit positions for this object over-ride the acctngSelectionType in the base conceptual row.
INT rsAcctngSelectionMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-create	Indicates the data collection mode.
rsAcctngFileControl	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2
rsAcctngFileTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2.1		not-accessible	A unique value identifying the file transfer behavior and the the file to where accounting data is to be stored.
rsAcctngFileEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	An entry used to extend the file management of acctngFileEntry. This conceptual row extension is used for Redstone accounting extensions to automate the transfer of accounting data to remote hosts.
INT rsAcctngFileXferMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-create	Indicates the mode to use for transfering accounting data to remote client. rsAcctngManualTransfer Administrator is responsible for manually transfering collected accounting data off of the system. rsAcctngAutomatedTransfer The agent will automatically transfer the collected accounting data based at a rsAcctngFileXferIntervals using an entry in the rsFileXferTable pointed to by rsAcctngFileXferIndex. If a manager sets this object to this value, a corresponding row in the rsFileXferTable must exist, otherwise the set command will fail. rsActngTransferOnFileFull The agent will automatically transfer the collected accounting data when the file reaches the maximum size defined by acctngFileMaximumSize. If a manager sets this object to this value, a corresponding row in the rsFileXferTable must exist, otherwise the set command will fail. rsAcctngRedundantTransfer The agent will automatically transfer two copies of the accounting data based on the rsAcctngFileXferInterval. One copy will go to the rsFileXferTable entry identified by rsAcctngFileXferIndex and one copy will go the the rsFileXferTable entry identified by rsAcctngFileXferSecondaryIndex
INT rsAcctngFileXferIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-create	Identifies an entry in the rsFileXferTable, which defines the file transfer parameters to use when the agent is configured to automatically transfer collected accounting data files. A set to this object will fail if a corresponding entry in the rsFileXferTable does not exist or it is not set to rsFileXferAcctngStatistics.
INT rsAcctngFileXferSecondaryIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.2.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-create	Identifies a backup or secondary entry in the rsFileXferTable, which defines the file transfer parameters to use when the agent is configured to automatically transfer collected accounting data files. A set to this object will fail if a corresponding entry in the rsFileXferTable does not exist or it is not set to rsFileXferAcctngStatistics.
rsAcctngInterfaceControl	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3
rsAcctngInterfaceTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3.1		not-accessible	A table controlling the collection of accounting data on specific interfaces types. This table provides an efficient mechanism to enable and/or disable data collection on all interfaces of a specified type.
rsAcctngInterfaceEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3.1.1		not-accessible	An entry which controls whether accounting data is to be collected on interfaces of a specific type.
NUM rsAcctngInterfaceAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3.1.1.1	RsAcctngAdminType	read-write	The desired administrative state for accounting data collection for interfaces defined by the type of this entry. The administrative scope is for all interfaces of the type defined by the corresponding rsIfType for this entry.
RSA rsAcctngInterfaceOperStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3.1.1.2	RsAcctngOperType	read-only	The operational state for accounting data collection on for all interfaces corresponding to this entries type.
ROW rsAcctngInterfaceRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.1.3.1.1.3	RowStatus	read-write	Controls creation/deletion of entries in this table.
rsAcctngConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.3
rsAcctngGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.3.1
rsAcctngBasicGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.3.1.1			A collection of objects providing control of the basic collection of accounting data for connection-less networks.
rsAcctngCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.3.2
rsAcctngCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.24.3.2.1			The compliance statement for switches which implement the RedStone Accounting Control MIB.
