Description: Appian Communications SONET ring system module inventory and operational status.

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 APPIAN-MODULE-MIB?

APPIAN-MODULE-MIB is Appian Communications' OSAP Modules MIB, defining hardware inventory and status for line cards/modules installed in their SONET ring nodes. It exposes per-slot module data including type, configured type, admin/operational status, hardware revision, serial number, production date, and associated traps. Its monitoring emphasis is squarely hardware-focused: module admin vs. operational status reveals failed or degraded cards, and serial number/revision/production date support hardware asset tracking, with traps delivering near-real-time fault or insertion/removal notifications. It shares node/slot addressing conventions with companion Appian MIBs such as the logical port and serial port modules. It is deployed in chassis-based SONET/optical transport nodes with hot-swappable line cards requiring per-slot hardware health tracking via the APPIAN-MODULE-MIB MIB.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in APPIAN-MODULE-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

Appian Communications SONET ring node/chassis

Monitoring Examples

acModuleTable/acModuleEntry, indexed by acModuleNodeId, acModuleSlot, and acModuleNumber, exposes acModuleOpStatus and acModuleAdminStatus per card; an admin polling this can detect a module that has gone operationally down while still administratively enabled, indicating a hardware fault. acModuleSerialNumber, acModuleRevision, and acModuleProductionDate support hardware asset tracking, and acModuleTraps notify on module insertion/removal or failure events.

What Can Be Monitored

module admin status
module operational status
module type/configured type
module serial number and revision
module insertion/removal/failure traps

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using acModuleNumberFailures OID:

Select an Appian Communications OSAP SONET/optical access platform (legacy) 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 acModuleNumberFailures 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. The total number of failure events reported by the module. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
