Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch port mirroring and monitoring MIB for configuring SPAN sessions and remote traffic capture.

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-PORT-MIRRORING-MONITORING-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-PORT-MIRRORING-MONITORING-MIB is an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch (Birds of Prey) MIB for configuring port mirroring/monitoring (SPAN-like) sessions that copy traffic from one or more source ports to a monitoring port for capture or analysis. It exposes a mirror session table keyed by session number, with source (mirrored) and destination (mirroring) interface indexes, direction, VLAN tagging behavior, and both administrative and operational status. Its monitoring value is confirming that a diagnostic mirroring session is actually active and correctly configured, since mirrorSessOperStatus can reveal a session enabled administratively but that failed to come up operationally, otherwise leaving an analyzer silently receiving no traffic. It relies on standard ifIndex references (from IF-MIB) to identify mirrored and mirroring interfaces rather than defining its own interface numbering. It is deployed on OmniSwitch switches whenever traffic capture, IDS/IPS taps, or troubleshooting SPAN sessions are configured. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ALCATEL-IND1-PORT-MIRRORING-MONITORING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-PORT-MIRRORING-MONITORING-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll mirrorTable/mirrorEntry for a given mirrorSessionNumber, comparing mirrorStatus (administrative) against mirrorSessOperStatus (operational) to confirm the session is truly forwarding mirrored traffic, not just configured. Checking mirrorMirroredIfindex and mirrorMirroringIfindex would verify the correct source and destination ports are paired, while mirrorDirection would confirm whether ingress, egress, or bidirectional traffic is being copied. If mirrorSessOperStatus shows down while mirrorStatus shows enabled, that mismatch would explain why a packet capture appliance is receiving no traffic despite the session appearing configured.

What Can Be Monitored

mirror session admin/operational status
mirrored (source) and mirroring (destination) ports
mirror direction (ingress/egress/both)
tagged/unblocked VLAN for mirrored traffic
