ACD-DISCOVERY-MIB

Description: Manages neighbor discovery and topology detection capabilities on Accedian MetroNID Ethernet performance monitoring devices.

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.

ACD-DISCOVERY-MIB is an Accedian Networks proprietary MIB that provides neighbor-discovery and topology/inventory information for Accedian MetroNID Ethernet performance-monitoring devices. It exposes discovered-device inventory data such as system name and description, management IP address, serial number, firmware version, and MAC addresses. Its monitoring value lies mainly in software/hardware inventory tracking -- confirming firmware version and serial number for asset audits, and using the last-change timestamp to detect recent topology or configuration changes -- rather than deep performance counters. No explicit dependency on a standard discovery protocol MIB (such as LLDP-MIB) is confirmed from the available module text, though the function is conceptually similar. It is typically deployed in metro Ethernet access/aggregation networks where operators need automated topology mapping and firmware/inventory audits across a fleet of MetroNID devices, a task ACD-DISCOVERY-MIB SNMP monitoring supports directly.

An administrator would poll acdDiscoveryInventoryTable/acdDiscoveryInventoryEntry, indexed by acdDiscoveryIndex, to read acdDiscoverySystemName, acdDiscoverySerialNumber, and acdDiscoveryFirmware across a fleet of MetroNIDs for an inventory and firmware-version audit. acdDiscoveryLastChange would be checked to detect when a device's discovered neighbor topology or state most recently changed, flagging unexpected reconfiguration. acdDiscoveryMgmtIpAddress and acdDiscoveryBaseMacAddress/acdDiscoveryInterfaceMacAddress let the admin correlate a discovered neighbor back to a specific managed device and interface.
