Description: Alcatel-Lucent microwave radio link MIB for managing point-to-point microwave system parameters and performance.

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 ALU-MICROWAVE-MIB?

ALU-MICROWAVE-MIB is a Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent) proprietary MIB for managing point-to-point microwave radio links on the Nokia/ALU 7xxx series transport platform. It exposes link-level configuration such as the radio scheme in use, operational flags, and, notably, alarm state broken down by severity (critical, major, minor, warning). Its primary monitoring value is fault/hardware status of the radio link itself: the alarm state and per-severity alarm counters directly indicate whether a microwave hop is experiencing a signal or hardware fault serious enough to threaten the link. It is a standalone Nokia/ALU proprietary MIB, though it is typically used alongside the vendor's broader network-element and entity MIBs for full node management. It is deployed in telecom backhaul networks that use microwave radio links to connect cell sites or points of presence where fiber isn't available. Engineers can download the ALU-MICROWAVE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALU-MICROWAVE-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

  • Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7xxx series microwave radio transport equipment

Monitoring Examples

aluMwLinkTable/aluMwLinkEntry, indexed by aluMwLinkID, exposes aluMwLinkAlarmState along with severity-specific counters aluMwLinkAlarmsCritical, aluMwLinkAlarmsMajor, aluMwLinkAlarmsMinor, and aluMwLinkAlarmsWarning, letting an operator immediately see whether a given microwave hop has active critical alarms consistent with a radio outage. aluMwLinkOperFlags and aluMwLinkRadioScheme show the link's current operational mode and modulation scheme, useful context when diagnosing a degraded link.

What Can Be Monitored

  • microwave link alarm state
  • critical/major/minor/warning alarm counts
  • link operational flags
  • radio modulation/scheme in use

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using aluMwLinkAggrFramesTx OID:

Select a Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) 7xxx-series microwave radio transport equipment 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 aluMwLinkAggrFramesTx 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. It reports aluMwLinkAggrFramesTx specifies the number of ethernet frames to be transmitted over radio link. 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 Counter64-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.
