Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch MAC address server MIB for centralized MAC range allocation and management across the stack.

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-MAC-SERVER-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-MAC-SERVER-MIB is an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch "Birds of Prey" chassis-supervision MIB implementing the MAC Address Server, which allocates blocks of MAC addresses to internal applications (such as routing interfaces) from a chassis-wide pool. It exposes configuration data for defined MAC address ranges (start address and count), a global/local scope flag, and an allocation table tracking which application has been assigned which MAC range, plus a duplicate-allocation status table and retention objects. Its monitoring value is software/configuration-state oriented: confirming MAC ranges are properly defined and allocated without conflicts, and using alaMacServerTrapObjs-based traps and the duplicate-allocation table to catch MAC address collisions that could cause network-layer conflicts. It is a self-contained Alcatel chassis-management module with no explicit external MIB dependency, working alongside the switch's internal routing/VLAN interface subsystems that consume allocated MACs. It is typically used internally on Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch chassis to manage MAC address assignment across multiple applications and stacked units. Engineers can download the ALCATEL-IND1-MAC-SERVER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-MAC-SERVER-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 (Birds of Prey product line)

Monitoring Examples

An operator inspects chasMacAddressRangeTable (keyed by chasMacRangeIndex) to see chasMacAddressStart and chasMacAddressCount for each defined range, and cross-references chasMacAddressAllocTable to see which chasAppId consumed which chasAllocMacRangeIndex. A non-empty chasMacAddrDupAllocStatusTable would reveal that two applications were assigned overlapping MAC addresses, a condition that could cause duplicate-MAC network faults.

What Can Be Monitored

MAC address range definitions
MAC range allocation by application
duplicate MAC allocation status
MAC address retention state
