Description: Manages gateway controller BSP signaling protocol sessions on CommWorks/3Com carrier equipment.

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 USR-GWCBSP-MIB?

USR-GWCBSP-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from CommWorks (formerly U.S. Robotics)/3Com for the Gateway Controller BSP (Base Signal Processing/board support platform) card used in carrier remote access and gateway equipment. It exposes hardware identity and inventory data for the GWC BSP card, including product code, hardware version, serial number, card ID, feature key/license, NIC/NAC identifiers and names, CPU type/speed, and boot mode. Its monitoring value is squarely hardware/software inventory and configuration status: an operator can confirm the exact hardware revision and CPU installed, verify licensed feature keys are present, and check which boot mode (e.g., normal vs. diagnostic) the card is running in, which is useful for troubleshooting card-level faults or verifying fleet-wide hardware consistency. It is part of the broader USR/CommWorks enterprise MIB family and likely complements companion MIBs like USR-HACN-MIB for the same chassis. It is typically deployed in carrier and enterprise gateway/access concentrator equipment for remote access services, where USR-GWCBSP-MIB SNMP monitoring supports fleet-wide hardware inventory and boot-mode auditing.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in USR-GWCBSP-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.

CommWorks/3Com Gateway Controller (GWC) BSP card in a remote access gateway

Monitoring Examples

An operator can poll usrGWCBSPProductCode, usrGWCBSPHWVersion, and usrGWCBSPSerialNumber to build an accurate hardware inventory of GWC BSP cards across a fleet of gateway chassis. usrGWCBSPCPUType and usrGWCBSPCPUSpeed reveal the processor installed on the card, useful when diagnosing performance differences between units, while usrGWCBSPBootMode confirms whether a card booted into normal operation or a diagnostic/recovery mode. A card unexpectedly reporting a diagnostic usrGWCBSPBootMode after a restart would indicate a boot failure requiring investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

card product code and hardware version
serial number and card ID
feature key/license status
CPU type and speed
boot mode
