Description: Manages coherent modem transceiver configuration and diagnostics on Ciena WaveServer platforms.

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.

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

CIENA-WS-XCVR-MODEM-MIB is a Ciena vendor MIB (SNMP-rendered from a YANG module) for managing coherent optical modem transceivers on Ciena's WaveServer optical transport platforms. It exposes vendor diagnostic monitoring capabilities and measurements, such as chromatic dispersion, alongside transmitter technology properties like tunability, wavelength control mode, and minimum/maximum/tolerance wavelength range for each transceiver. Its monitoring emphasis is on optical transceiver hardware health and configuration: operators check diagnostic measurements to catch signal-quality degradation and verify wavelength tuning parameters remain within the transceiver's supported range. It explicitly augments Ciena's own ciena-ws-xcvr YANG module, tying it to Ciena's broader YANG/NETCONF-to-SNMP modeling rather than an IETF standard. Deployment context is DWDM/coherent optical transport networks using Ciena WaveServer platforms. Engineers can download the CIENA-WS-XCVR-MODEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-WS-XCVR-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 optical transceiver modem

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls cwsXcvrAugXcvrModemVendorDiagnosticMonitoringTable for cwsXcvrModemVendorDiagnosticMonitoringDispersionMeasurement to detect rising chromatic dispersion, signaling fiber-path degradation. cwsXcvrModemTransmitterTechnologyTunable and cwsXcvrModemTransmitterTechnologyWavelengthMin/Max in cwsXcvrModemTransmitterTechnologyTable are checked to confirm a tunable transceiver is operating within its supported wavelength range, using cwsXcvrModemTransmitterTechnologyTableSnmpKey to identify the specific module.

What Can Be Monitored

  • dispersion measurement
  • diagnostic support status
  • wavelength tunability
  • wavelength min/max/tolerance range
