Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is BAS-CARD-INFO-MIB?

BAS-CARD-INFO-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB covering line card inventory and hardware status for a Broadband Access System (BAS) CMTS chassis, a DOCSIS cable modem termination system platform. It exposes a per-card information table keyed by chassis/slot/interface/logical-port indices, capturing card class, chassis number, and related identity information, along with objects to save agent configuration and track configuration-save status, plus card reset control. Its monitoring emphasis is strongly hardware-status oriented: inventorying installed line cards per chassis/slot, confirming the correct card type is installed, monitoring configuration-save status to confirm changes persisted, and tracking card resets as an indicator of hardware instability. It appears to be a largely self-contained CMTS vendor MIB rather than one built on IETF DOCSIS standards, though it operates alongside standard DOCS-IF MIBs on the same chassis. It is deployed on cable broadband access (CMTS) headend chassis in cable operator networks managing many line cards across chassis/slots. Engineers can download the BAS-CARD-INFO-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BAS-CARD-INFO-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll basCardInfoTable/basCardInfoEntry rows keyed by basCardInfoChassis and basCardInfoSlot to confirm basCardInfoClass matches the expected card type in each slot, and check basAgentConfigSaveStatus after a basAgentConfigSave operation to confirm configuration persisted. An unexpected basCardInfoClass value, or a card that recently underwent basCardReset, would indicate a hardware swap, a card failure, or an in-progress recovery on that chassis slot.
