Category: Optical and WDM, Vendor: Alcatel-Lucent

Description: Alcatel optical MIB extending ALC-MIB with additional optical parameter monitoring for DWDM network elements.

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 ALC-OPT-MIB?

ALC-OPT-MIB is a private MIB (referencing the "cdx6500" platform in its object names, consistent with the Cascade Communications/Ascom Timeplex CBX 500 multiservice ATM switch) exposing per-port ALC (line interface) configuration parameters. It covers port type/subtype, port control state, clock source and speed, plus polling-delay and host-timeout parameters governing the interface's management communication. As a configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm a port's clocking and control settings are correct when diagnosing a framing or synchronization problem on the interface. It is deployed on CBX 500-family multiservice ATM switches. Engineers can download the ALC-OPT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALC-OPT-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

  • Motorola Codex 6500-series data/statistical multiplexer (legacy)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks alcPCfgClockSource and alcPCfgClockSpeed for a port reporting clock slips, confirming whether the interface is configured for the expected timing source.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port clock source/speed configuration
  • port control state
