Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch chassis management MIB covering hardware modules, fan trays, power supplies, and physical inventory.

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 ALCATEL-IND1-CHASSIS-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-CHASSIS-MIB is Alcatel's proprietary OmniSwitch (Birds Of Prey product line) chassis-supervision MIB, covering physical chassis and control-module (CMM) objects not addressed by the IETF Entity MIB. It exposes control-module inventory and redundancy state, including software-version tracking (current/next running version), activation timers, and synchronization/certification status between primary and secondary CMMs. This is very much a hardware/software status MIB — it is used to confirm both CMMs (management modules) are synchronized and certified, to check which firmware version is currently running versus staged for next activation, and to verify a version upgrade or CMM failover completed cleanly. The module explicitly notes it supplements — rather than duplicates — the IETF Entity MIB (RFC 2737) for physical chassis objects. It's deployed on Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch chassis-based switches where dual CMMs provide management-plane redundancy. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-CHASSIS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-CHASSIS-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

  • Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch chassis switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll chasControlSynchronizationStatus and chasControlCertifyStatus in chasControlModuleTable, indexed per control module, to confirm the standby CMM is synchronized and certified before a planned failover. chasControlCurrentRunningVersion versus chasControlNextRunningVersion reveals whether a firmware upgrade has been staged but not yet activated, and chasControlDelayedActivateTimer/chasControlActivateTimeout show how long until a pending activation occurs or times out. A CMM reporting an uncertified or unsynchronized status typically means a failover to that module would lose current configuration state.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CMM synchronization status
  • CMM certification status
  • current vs. next running firmware version
  • activation timer/timeout
  • control module redundancy state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using chasControlNumberOfTakeover OID:

Select an Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch chassis switch 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 chasControlNumberOfTakeover 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. This object is a count of the number of times the control module has changed from primary to secondary mode as a result of a Takeover. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
