Description: Manages pluggable transceiver inventory and parameters on Ciena WaveServer optical 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-PLUGGABLE-MIB?

CIENA-WS-XCVR-PLUGGABLE-MIB is a Ciena private MIB, auto-generated from a YANG module, that augments the base CIENA-WS-XCVR-MIB with pluggable-optics-specific inventory and diagnostic data for Ciena Waveserver optical transport platforms. It adds columns to existing transceiver tables via AUGMENTS clauses — cwsXcvrPluggableVendorIdRevisionCompliance on the vendor ID entry (per SFF-8636), cwsXcvrPluggableDeviceIdIdentifier/IdentifierRaw/ExtendedIdentifierRaw/PowerConsumption/Clei/ConnectorTypeRaw on the device ID entry describing form factor (QSFP, QSFP28, CFP-style CDFP, XFP, X2, etc. per SFF-8024), power class, and CLEI code, and cwsXcvrPluggableVendorTransmitterWavelength/EncodingDescription on the vendor transmitter entry — plus a separate cwsXcvrPluggableVendorOuiTable for the free-side device vendor's IEEE OUI. This gives detailed per-slot pluggable transceiver identity and capability data beyond generic transceiver monitoring, useful for confirming the correct optic type and vendor compliance is installed in each port. It depends on CIENA-WS-MIB, CIENA-WS-TYPEDEFS-MIB, and the base CIENA-WS-XCVR-MIB tables it augments, and is deployed on Ciena Waveserver optical platforms, per the CIENA-WS-XCVR-PLUGGABLE-MIB MIB.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-WS-XCVR-PLUGGABLE-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 platforms

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls cwsXcvrPluggableDeviceIdIdentifier and cwsXcvrPluggableDeviceIdPowerConsumption for each transceiver slot to confirm the installed pluggable is the expected form factor (e.g. qsfp28) and power class before provisioning a wavelength; a mismatch between the expected identifier and what cwsXcvrPluggableDeviceIdIdentifierRaw reports would indicate the wrong optic type was installed in that port.

What Can Be Monitored

  • pluggable transceiver form-factor/identifier objects
  • power consumption class per pluggable
  • vendor OUI and CLEI code
  • transmitter wavelength and encoding
  • revision compliance flags
