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 STN-POLICY-MIB?

STN-POLICY-MIB is a vendor MIB from Spring Tide Networks for configuring traffic policy rules, classifiers, and their associated actions on their broadband aggregation platforms, including a policy-manager class table (stnPmClassTable) used to define traffic classification classes. It exposes configuration data describing how traffic is classified and what actions (such as shaping, marking, or filtering) are applied to matched traffic classes. This is primarily a software/configuration-status monitoring MIB: administrators use it to confirm traffic policies and classifiers are correctly defined and applied, rather than to read physical sensor data, ensuring QoS or filtering behavior matches intended network policy. It depends on SPRING-TIDE-NETWORKS-SMI for its enterprise OID root and is designed to work in concert with STN-IF-MIB and STN-ATM-MIB, since policies are ultimately applied to traffic on those interfaces/circuits. Typical deployment context is carrier broadband aggregation networks where Spring Tide equipment enforces differentiated traffic handling policies across subscriber or trunk interfaces, and administrators can download the STN-POLICY-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in STN-POLICY-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

  • Spring Tide Networks broadband aggregation equipment

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll stnPmClassTable (and its associated entry rows) to confirm that traffic classification classes are defined as expected, checking each class's matching criteria and assigned action. Cross-referencing a policy class against STN-IF-MIB interface statistics on the port where it's applied would reveal whether the expected traffic shaping or filtering behavior is actually occurring. An unexpected absence of a class row or a misconfigured classifier would explain why traffic isn't being treated according to its intended policy.

What Can Be Monitored

  • traffic policy class definitions
  • classifier match criteria
  • policy action assignments (shaping/marking/filtering)
  • policy application per interface

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using stnPmClassStatsHighWater OID:

Select a Spring Tide Networks broadband aggregation equipment 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 stnPmClassStatsHighWater into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The historical maximum number of packets that were queued for this class since the system was last reinitialized. 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 value climbs close to a level you consider a practical ceiling for this device, since a rising peak often signals sustained load growth worth planning capacity around. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
