Description: Manages Unisphere ERX router accounting records, billing data collection, and session statistics.

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 Unisphere-Data-ACCOUNTING-MIB?

Unisphere-Data-ACCOUNTING-MIB is a vendor MIB from Unisphere Networks (later acquired by Juniper Networks) for the ERX family of edge routing switches, extending the standard connection-oriented accounting framework to router-specific usage tracking. It exposes configuration tables for selecting which interfaces or subtrees generate accounting records, policy names/types governing how records are collected, interface-stack start tables, and controls for accounting file generation. Its monitoring focus is software/service-configuration oriented: administrators use it to verify that billing/usage data collection policies are correctly applied to the right interfaces and that accounting file generation is active, rather than to track hardware health directly. It explicitly augments the IETF Connection-Oriented Accounting MIB (ACCOUNTING-CONTROL-MIB, RFC 2513), building router-specific selection and file-control objects on top of that standard framework. It is typically deployed on Juniper/Unisphere ERX edge routers used by broadband and dial ISPs to generate usage records for subscriber billing. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Unisphere-Data-ACCOUNTING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Unisphere-Data-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.

Supported Devices

  • Juniper/Unisphere ERX edge routing switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would inspect usdAcctngSelectionTable/usdAcctngSelectionEntry rows to confirm which usdAcctngSelectionSubtreeType and usdAcctngSelectionPolicyName apply to a given interface, and check usdAcctngSelectionIfStackStartTable to verify the interface-stack starting point used for record generation. usdAcctngFileControl objects would be polled to confirm that accounting files are being rotated/generated as expected. A missing or misconfigured usdAcctngSelectionPolicyType entry for a subscriber-facing interface would explain gaps in billing records.

What Can Be Monitored

  • accounting selection policy type
  • accounting selection mode
  • interface stack accounting start point
  • accounting policy name
  • accounting file generation status
