Description: Manages Ruckus Wireless Ethernet port configuration, statistics, and link status.

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 RUCKUS-ETH-MIB?

RUCKUS-ETH-MIB is a Ruckus Wireless (CommScope) vendor MIB that manages the Ethernet ports on Ruckus wireless controllers and access points, covering port identification, traffic rate statistics, and error rates. It exposes per-port name/label objects along with receive and transmit rate and error-rate counters. Its monitoring focus is hardware/interface status: tracking Ethernet link throughput and error rates to catch degraded or failing physical connections, cabling issues, or duplex mismatches on controller/AP uplinks. It complements the broader Ruckus enterprise MIB set, typically used alongside RUCKUS-CTRL-MIB for full controller visibility. It is deployed on Ruckus wireless controllers and access points where Ethernet uplink health directly affects wireless service. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the RUCKUS-ETH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RUCKUS-ETH-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

Ruckus wireless controller Ethernet ports
Ruckus access point Ethernet ports

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ruckusEthStatsTable/ruckusEthStatsEntry, checking ruckusEthStatsRxRate and ruckusEthStatsTxRate against ruckusEthStatsRxErrorRate and ruckusEthStatsTxErrorRate for each ruckusEthName-labeled port. A rising ruckusEthStatsRxErrorRate or ruckusEthStatsTxErrorRate on an uplink port, paired with flat or dropping throughput, would indicate a failing cable, port, or switch-side mismatch degrading the wireless controller's backhaul connectivity.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ruckusEthStatsRxRate OID:

Select a Ruckus wireless controller/access point Ethernet port (link rate/error statistics) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ruckusEthStatsRxRate into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the receipt throughput. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
