Description: Appian Communications physical serial port encapsulation and clock configuration.

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-PPORT-SERIAL-MIB?

APPIAN-PPORT-SERIAL-MIB is Appian Communications' Serial Interface MIB covering RS232-like physical serial ports on their SONET access equipment. It exposes per-port physical configuration (baud rate, parity, number of bits, operating mode/code) alongside admin/operational status and associated traps. Its monitoring focus is on interface/hardware status: detecting ports that are administratively up but operationally down, or configuration mismatches, via status fields and fault traps. It is a companion module to APPIAN-MODULE-MIB, sharing the same node/slot addressing scheme within Appian's enterprise MIB tree. It is deployed for legacy serial data circuits carried over Appian SONET/optical transport equipment, such as out-of-band management or legacy data services. Engineers can download the APPIAN-PPORT-SERIAL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in APPIAN-PPORT-SERIAL-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 access node with serial interface cards

Monitoring Examples

acSerialTable/acSerialEntry, indexed by acSerialNodeId, acSerialSlot, and acSerialPort, exposes acSerialAdminStatus and acSerialOpStatus alongside acSerialBaudRate, acSerialParity, and acSerialNumberBits; an admin can detect a serial port that is administratively up but operationally down, or a baud-rate/parity mismatch causing a connected legacy device to fail to link, with acSerialTraps delivering near-real-time notification of such changes.

What Can Be Monitored

serial port admin/operational status
baud rate
parity setting
operating mode/code
port fault traps

NTF acSerialLinkDownTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.0.1			The Serial Port driver for this interface has detected the port to be in the down state.
NTF acSerialLinkUpTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.0.2			The Serial Port driver for this interface has detected the port to be in the down state.
NTF acSerialStatsResetTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.0.3			The statistics for this serial port have been reset to zero(0) and may cause problems for long term trending functions.
NTF acSerialCfgErrorTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.0.4			A configuration request for this serial interface has been detected as incorrect or corrupted.
acSerialTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1		not-accessible	Each Switch Control Processor supports a debug port as well as a management access or craft CLI port. The system will initialize the acSerialTable when the system boots or an SCP has been reset.
acSerialEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1		not-accessible	A row in the serial table contains configurable parameters and statistics for each serial interface on this platform.
ACN acSerialNodeId	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.1	AcNodeId	accessible-for-notify	The node id is the id for this specific node in the OSAP ring.
INT acSerialSlot	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.2	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	The control processor slot upon which the serial port is located.
INT acSerialPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.3	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	The physical port number on acSerialEntrySlot where this connector is located.
ACA acSerialAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.4	AcAdminStatus	read-write	Appian Administrative Status attribute used to set the provisioning state as either activate(1), inactivate(2) or delete(3). Refer to the Appian-SMI.mib file for additional information.
ACO acSerialOpStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.5	AcOpStatus	read-only	The current operational status of the serial port driver and services supporting this interface.
INT acSerialOpCode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.6	INTEGER	read-only	Provides a detailed status code which can be used to isolate a problem or state condition reported in acSerialEntryOpStatus.
INT acSerialOpMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.2785.2.3.2.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	Determines the mode of operation for the serial port. If the serial port is using a raw terminal(1) or if we are to run PPP over this port as an alternative EMS access mechanism.
