What Is CISCO-MGX82XX-DSX3-BERT-MIB?

CISCO-MGX82XX-DSX3-BERT-MIB manages Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) on DS3/E3 interfaces of Frame Relay and Circuit Emulation service modules (FRSM-2T3E3, CESM-T3E3) in Cisco MGX 8200 series WAN switches. It belongs to the legacy WAN switching/carrier transport technology area, exposing objects to start, control, and read back the results of line-quality diagnostic tests on T3/E3 circuits. Its data is fault-diagnosis and line-quality focused: dsx3bertStatus, dsx3bertPattern, and dsx3bertLoopback let an engineer determine whether a physical DS3/E3 line is error-free or degraded, effectively monitoring the hardware transmission quality of a WAN circuit rather than the switch's own CPU/memory/temperature. It tracks test ownership (dsx3bertOwner, dsx3bertUserId) and timing (dsx3bertStartTime) so multiple technicians don't collide on the same resource. This MIB is deployed on Cisco MGX 8200 series ATM/Frame Relay WAN switches used by carriers and enterprises for legacy T3/E3 circuit provisioning and troubleshooting. Engineers can download the CISCO-MGX82XX-DSX3-BERT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-MGX82XX-DSX3-BERT-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

  • Cisco MGX 8200 series WAN switch (FRSM-2T3E3/CESM-T3E3 modules)

Monitoring Examples

A technician sets dsx3bertControl and dsx3bertPattern to initiate a BERT test on a specific dsx3bertPort/dsx3bertLine, then polls dsx3bertStatus and dsx3bertResourceStatus to see if the test completed cleanly or detected bit errors. A test that reports persistent errors under a given dsx3bertMode/dsx3bertLoopback configuration points to a physical DS3 line fault requiring circuit repair before the FRSM or CESM card can carry production traffic reliably.

What Can Be Monitored

  • BERT test status and results
  • test pattern and loopback mode
  • line/port under test
  • test owner and start time
  • resource availability for testing
