ASCEND-POWER-SUPPLY-MIB

Description: Monitors power supply status and redundancy for Ascend modular access 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.

ASCEND-POWER-SUPPLY-MIB is an Ascend Communications (later part of Lucent) proprietary MIB for monitoring power supply status and redundancy on Ascend modular access/remote-access equipment such as dial-up and WAN access concentrators. It exposes objects reporting the presence, operational state, and redundancy configuration of individual power supply modules installed in a chassis. This MIB is directly focused on hardware status monitoring: it lets an administrator confirm whether each power supply unit is present and functioning normally, detect a failed or missing power module, and verify that redundant power supply configurations are providing the intended failover protection, which is critical for avoiding an unplanned outage of a modular access chassis. It is a self-contained vendor MIB with no significant dependency on other standard MIBs. It was typically deployed on Ascend MAX/TNT-series modular remote access concentrators in ISP and enterprise dial-up/WAN access environments, where ASCEND-POWER-SUPPLY-MIB SNMP monitoring gave administrators early warning of a failing or missing power module.

Since no sample_objects were provided for this MIB, exact object names cannot be grounded from source data, but consistent with its description an administrator would poll a power supply status table to check the operational state of each installed power module in an Ascend chassis. A power supply reporting a failed or absent state while the chassis is configured for redundant power would reveal a degraded power configuration requiring immediate module replacement. This MIB is purely a hardware power-health monitoring module.
