What Is CIENA-WS-PTP-MODEM-MIB?

CIENA-WS-PTP-MODEM-MIB is a Ciena WaveServer platform MIB that augments the base ciena-ws-ptp (Physical Termination Point) module with coherent DSP modem-transceiver attributes for line-system ports, describing the optical signal carried by the modem transceiver at each line port. It exposes hardware configuration and telemetry for the modem itself — transmitter channel assignment, tunable frequency settings (current value plus min/max allowed range and actual measured frequency), and optical power readings — data that is automatically provisioned at system turn-up. For status monitoring it verifies modem hardware health and configuration correctness: comparing cwsPtpModemFrequencyValue/Actual against cwsPtpModemFrequencyMinValue/MaxValue flags a modem operating outside its allowed tuning range, and the power table lets operators check transmit/receive optical power for signs of degrading optics. It explicitly augments the base CIENA-WS-PTP-MIB table, so it depends directly on that module's PTP entries for indexing. It is deployed in DWDM/coherent optical transport networks using Ciena WaveServer platforms where line-side modem tuning and optical power need close monitoring. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CIENA-WS-PTP-MODEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-WS-PTP-MODEM-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

  • Ciena WaveServer optical transport platform (coherent DSP line modem)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls cwsPtpModemFrequencyTable, keyed by cwsPtpModemFrequencyTableSnmpKey, to compare cwsPtpModemFrequencyActual against cwsPtpModemFrequencyMinValue/MaxValue and catch a modem drifting outside its supported tuning range. The cwsPtpAugPtpModemTransmitterTable's cwsPtpModemTransmitterLineSystemChannelNumber confirms which DWDM channel a given transmitter is assigned to, while cwsPtpModemPowerTable provides optical power readings used to detect a degrading laser or fiber-plant issue before a line goes down.

What Can Be Monitored

  • modem transmitter line-system channel assignment
  • modem tuning frequency (configured, min/max, actual)
  • modem optical power levels
