Description: Manages network interface configuration and status on ADTRAN AOS devices including physical and logical port parameters.

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 ADTRAN-AOS-IF?

ADTRAN-AOS-IF is a vendor-specific SNMP module for devices running ADTRAN's AOS, providing detailed traffic statistics for physical and logical network interfaces beyond what the standard IF-MIB counters offer. It exposes short-interval (30-second and 5-minute) octet and packet counters for both inbound and outbound traffic, as well as frame-quality counters such as undersized, oversized, and FCS-errored frames. Its monitoring value is centered on interface hardware/link performance — the short time-window counters let an operator see near-real-time traffic bursts and frame errors per interface, which helps quickly identify a congested link or a physical-layer problem causing frame errors, complementing the coarser long-term counters in the standard IF-MIB. It explicitly builds on and complements the IETF's standard IF-MIB (RFC 2863) interface model, since it references interfaces by name (adGenAOSIfName) similar to ifDescr. It is deployed on ADTRAN AOS routers and access devices where detailed short-term interface performance visibility is needed for troubleshooting, and network teams can download the ADTRAN-AOS-IF MIB file to load these objects into their monitoring platform.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ADTRAN-AOS-IF. 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

  • ADTRAN AOS-based router/access device

Monitoring Examples

Sample objects adGenAOSIfName, adGenAOSInOctets30s/adGenAOSOutOctets30s, adGenAOSInPackets30s/adGenAOSOutPackets30s, adGenAOSInOctets5m/adGenAOSOutOctets5m, and frame-quality counters adGenAOSInUndersizedFrames, adGenAOSInOversizedFrames, and adGenAOSInFramesFCS indicate a per-interface short-window statistics scheme. An administrator would poll adGenAOSInOctets30s/adGenAOSOutOctets30s on a named interface (adGenAOSIfName) to spot a sudden traffic spike, and a rising adGenAOSInFramesFCS count would reveal a physical-layer problem such as a bad cable or duplex mismatch on that interface. The 5-minute counters would be used for a slightly smoothed view of sustained interface load.

What Can Be Monitored

  • 30-second inbound/outbound octets and packets
  • 5-minute inbound/outbound octets and packets
  • undersized frame count
  • oversized frame count
  • FCS error frame count

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using adGenAOSInInvalidCeVlanIdDrops OID:

Select an ADTRAN NetVanta/SDG-series AOS device 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 adGenAOSInInvalidCeVlanIdDrops into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of frames dropped which were received with an Invalid CE-VLAN-ID. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
