Description: Alteon TS switch physical MIB for managing chassis hardware, port cards, and physical interface 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 ALTEON-TS-PHYSICAL-MIB?

ALTEON-TS-PHYSICAL-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Alteon WebSystems (part of the split-out Tigon switch MIB family) that manages Layer 2 physical and logical switch infrastructure: port configuration, VLANs, trunk groups, spanning tree groups, and port mirroring. It exposes parallel current/new configuration table pairs — agPortCurCfgTable/agPortNewCfgTable (port speed, duplex, flow control, VLAN tag mode, PVID, bandwidth-management contract), vlanCurCfgTable/vlanNewCfgTable (VLAN membership bitmap, jumbo frame support, spanning tree group assignment), and trunkGroupCurCfgTable/trunkGroupNewCfgTable (trunk port membership and bandwidth contract) — plus stgCurCfgTable/stgNewCfgTable for per-group Spanning Tree Protocol state supplementing the standard Bridge MIB (RFC 1493). Most of the original port-mirroring objects under the mirroring branch are marked obsolete in favor of the later mirrPortMirr/mirrVlanMirr groups. As a switch configuration MIB it is primarily useful for confirming that port, VLAN, and trunk settings match the intended network design rather than for hardware sensor data. It is deployed on Alteon TS (Tigon-based) switches and depends on ALTEON-ROOT-MIB and ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB for OID placement; network teams query the ALTEON-TS-PHYSICAL-MIB MIB Browser view to audit port, VLAN, and trunk configuration on these switches.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTEON-TS-PHYSICAL-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

  • Alteon WebSystems TS-series switches (Tigon switch family)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls agPortCurCfgTable (indexed by agPortCurCfgIndx) to check agPortCurCfgState and agPortCurCfgVlanTag against the intended port configuration, and cross-references vlanCurCfgPorts to confirm VLAN membership; a port showing disabled(3) state or missing from its expected vlanCurCfgPorts bitmap would indicate a misconfigured or administratively down switch port.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port speed/duplex/flow-control configuration
  • VLAN membership and jumbo-frame settings per VLAN
  • trunk group port membership and bandwidth contract
  • spanning tree group state and VLAN-to-STG mapping
  • port mirroring configuration (legacy, largely obsolete)
