Description: Alantec (Nortel) proprietary MIB for managing fast Ethernet switch port configuration and 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 ALANTEC-MIB?

ALANTEC-MIB is a legacy proprietary MIB originally developed by Alantec (later acquired by FORE Systems/Nortel Networks) for managing fast Ethernet switch hardware, covering per-port configuration and traffic statistics on the switch. No object or table names were available for this module, so its precise data model cannot be fully detailed, but vendor Ethernet switch MIBs of this era typically expose per-port administrative/operational status, speed/duplex settings, and traffic counters alongside chassis and module identification. In terms of monitoring, such a MIB would typically support tracking port link status, traffic/error counters, and basic chassis health, letting an administrator detect a down or errored port on the switch. It is a legacy proprietary module predating widespread adoption of the standard IF-MIB and EtherLike-MIB, though modern deployments would likely favor those standards over this one. It would be deployed only on legacy Alantec/Nortel fast Ethernet switch hardware still in service in older network environments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ALANTEC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Alantec fast Ethernet switch
  • Nortel-acquired Alantec switch hardware

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names are available for this MIB in the provided source, so specific OIDs cannot be cited; typical usage would involve polling per-port link status and traffic counters, but the actual object identifiers cannot be confirmed from the available data.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port link status
  • port speed/duplex configuration
  • port traffic statistics
  • switch chassis identification
