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 AILUXCONNECT-MIB?

AILUXCONNECT-MIB is an Applied Innovation, Inc. vendor-specific MIB for the AI LuxConnect product; contrary to a generic 'serial-over-IP' framing, the actual MIB is entirely about fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet transport hardware -- GTRAN 10G laser modules and GBIC interfaces used for span protection switching. The aiLCGtranActiveTable models each active GTRAN laser's working/protect span selection (aiLCGtranActiveSpan), Rx/Tx fiber utilization percentages, clock-slave role, cooler status, and health flags for temperature (okay/trouble) and Rx/Tx optical power (okay/under/over), with a companion aiLCGtranBackupTable linking each backup laser to its active counterpart. The aiLcGbicTable covers the 1G Ethernet GBIC interfaces, including connector type, administrative transmit mode (down/up/gtran), and Rx/Tx utilization, while three notifications -- aiLCTrapGtranSwitch, aiLCTrapGbicInserted, and aiLCTrapGbicRemoved -- flag span failovers and hot-plug events. It depends on IF-MIB's InterfaceIndex for its table indexes and the AISYSTEM-MIB for connector-type definitions, and it is deployed on Applied Innovation LuxConnect fiber transport equipment, where operators can download the AILUXCONNECT-MIB file to monitor optical link health and span-switching events.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AILUXCONNECT-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

Applied Innovation LuxConnect fiber transport equipment (GTRAN/GBIC modules)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls aiLCGtranActiveTemperature and aiLCGtranActiveRxPower/aiLCGtranActiveTxPower for each GTRAN laser and subscribes to aiLCTrapGtranSwitch; a trouble(2) temperature reading or an under(2)/over(3) Tx power state combined with an unexpected span-switch trap would indicate a failing laser forcing a failover to the protect fiber span.

What Can Be Monitored

GTRAN laser active/backup span selection
GTRAN laser temperature and optical power health
Rx/Tx fiber utilization percentages
GBIC connector type and transmit mode
GBIC insertion/removal and span-switch traps

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using aiLCGtranActiveSpan OID:

Select an Applied Innovation LuxConnect fiber transport equipment (legacy) 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 aiLCGtranActiveSpan 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. Indicates which fiber span is currently being utilized by the actvie laser. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'work', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs
