What Is ATM-FORUM-ILMI40-MIB?

ATM-FORUM-ILMI40-MIB is a vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB defined by the ATM Forum implementing version 4.0 of the Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), used across ATM-capable networking equipment for UNI (User-Network Interface) auto-configuration and address discovery. It exposes per-port ATM interface configuration and status objects, including transmission type, media type, addressing, and operational state, rather than being tied to any single vendor's product. Its monitoring value centers on interface/software operational status: atmfPortOperStatus reports whether an ATM port's ILMI link is up or down, which is the primary software-state health indicator this MIB provides, alongside identification data like atmfPortAddress and atmfMyIpNmAddress used for neighbor/address discovery. It is a companion standard to the broader ATM Forum UNI signaling specifications and is commonly deployed alongside the standard ATM-MIB for interface statistics. It is typically found on legacy ATM switches and ATM-attached routers from any vendor implementing ATM UNI, in carrier and enterprise ATM backbone deployments. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the ATM-FORUM-ILMI40-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ATM-FORUM-ILMI40-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, applicable to any ATM-capable switch or router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk the atmfPortTable (indexed by atmfPortIndex) and check atmfPortOperStatus to confirm an ATM UNI link is operational, cross-referencing atmfPortTransmissionType and atmfPortMediaType against the expected physical layer configuration. Discovering that atmfPortAddress or atmfMyIpNmAddress does not match the expected registered address would indicate an ILMI address-registration failure between the ATM switch and its attached device, a common cause of UNI signaling problems.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ATM UNI port operational status
  • ATM port transmission/media type
  • ILMI-registered ATM address
  • local ATM interface name/identifier
