What Is AVICI-SYSTEM-MIB?

AVICI-SYSTEM-MIB is a proprietary MIB from Avici Systems covering system-level management of its large-capacity backbone routers. It exposes system identification objects (router ID, system type) along with a hardware inventory table enumerating chassis components such as bays, slots, and modules along with their operational status. It is explicitly geared toward monitoring hardware status: aviciSysInventoryOperStatus reports whether each inventoried FRU is up, down, or degraded, and the module also carries change-notification traps (aviciSysInventoryTableChange, aviciSysTrapDescr) so that hardware insertions, removals, or failures are surfaced in real time alongside general system uptime and software version data typically found alongside a SYSTEM group. Within the AVICI-SYSTEM-MIB MIB, the inventory table and its associated traps form the primary interface network operations teams use to track chassis-level hardware events. It builds on the standard SNMPv2-SMI/SNMPv2-CONF conventions and is meant to be used together with Avici's other product-specific MIBs for interfaces and routing. It is deployed on carrier and ISP backbone routers where continuous visibility into chassis health is essential for high-availability operation.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AVICI-SYSTEM-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • router identifier and type
  • chassis inventory by bay/slot
  • module operational status
  • hardware inventory change events

Supported Devices

  • Avici backbone/core router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk aviciSysInventoryTable to enumerate every aviciSysInventoryEntry by aviciSysInventoryBay and aviciSysInventorySlot, checking aviciSysInventoryOperStatus for each aviciSysInventoryId to spot a failed or missing line card. A sudden aviciSysInventoryTableChange trap combined with an operStatus transition to 'down' on a given slot would indicate a hardware fault or hot-swap event needing investigation. Polling aviciSysRouterId and aviciSysType alongside the inventory table gives a quick health snapshot of the whole chassis.
