Describes the supported subscriber session types, including PPPoE, IP Subscriber Packet, and IP Subscriber DHCP, which can be monitored via SNMP to track connection status, performance, and subscriber data.
These are the supported session types:
-
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) - PPPoE is a network protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. It is commonly used for establishing internet connections over DSL lines. In SNMP, PPPoE sessions can be monitored to check the status, performance, and configuration of connections established using this protocol.
-
IP Subscriber Packet (IP SUB PKT) - This typically refers to the handling of IP packets for subscribers in a network, often related to broadband or other IP-based services. Monitoring IP SUB PKT sessions via SNMP can involve tracking packet flow, session status, and subscriber-specific data to ensure proper service delivery and network performance.
-
IP Subscriber DHCP (IP SUB DHCP) - This relates to IP address assignment using the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for network subscribers. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration details to devices. SNMP can be used to monitor DHCP sessions, including lease status, address allocation, and overall DHCP server performance.
