Description: Manages ATM or WAN switch fabric configuration and cross-connect tables on Ascend equipment.

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 ASCEND-MIBSWITCHCONFIG-MIB?

This is a proprietary Ascend Communications MIB for ATM/WAN switch fabric configuration on Ascend switching platforms. It exposes cross-connect table entries and switch fabric configuration parameters describing how logical circuits are mapped across ports. It supports monitoring the software/configuration status of the switch fabric — confirming cross-connects are correctly provisioned and active, which is essential to diagnosing traffic that isn't reaching its expected destination. It is Ascend-proprietary and generally complements rather than depends on standard ATM-MIB definitions. It is deployed on Ascend ATM/WAN switching equipment used by carriers to provision permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) across a switched network core. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ASCEND-MIBSWITCHCONFIG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ASCEND-MIBSWITCHCONFIG-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

  • Ascend ATM/WAN switching equipment

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured, but a switch configuration MIB of this type typically exposes a cross-connect table (an ascendSwitchConfig*Table/Entry pattern) mapping input port/VPI/VCI to output port/VPI/VCI. An operator would poll this table after provisioning a new PVC to confirm the cross-connect is active, with a missing or mismatched entry indicating a provisioning error causing the circuit to be down.

What Can Be Monitored

  • cross-connect table entries
  • switch fabric port mappings
  • circuit provisioning status
