Description: Manages Cisco WAN SRM (Service Resource Module) BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) for T1/E1 testing.

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 CISCO-WAN-SRM-BERT-MIB?

CISCO-WAN-SRM-BERT-MIB is a Cisco vendor-specific MIB for the MGX 8220/8850 WAN switching platforms that controls and reports Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) performed via a Service Resource Module (SRM) on FRSM, AUSM, CESM, and VISM service modules. It exposes a workflow control object bertControl (acquire, configure, start, modify, delete) alongside test-parameter scalars bertSlotNumber, bertTestMedium (port vs. line), bertPattern (e.g., allZeros, QRSS, DDS patterns), bertLoopback/bertLoopbackOperation, and live results bertBitCount, bertBitErrorCount, bertErrorInjectCount, and bertStatus (e.g., bertInSync, bertOutOfSync, bertFailed). It also provides bertDDSSeekResultsTable, a circular buffer of the last 20 detected DDS in-band codes, and bertSupportedTestsTable describing which test media/modes/patterns each slot's service module supports. This MIB is useful for remotely running and monitoring T1/E1 line-quality diagnostics without console access. It depends on BASIS-MIB for the axisDiagnostics subtree and CISCOWAN-SMI for the ciscoWan enterprise root, and administrators can download the CISCO-WAN-SRM-BERT-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-WAN-SRM-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 8220/8850 WAN switches (FRSM, AUSM, CESM, VISM service modules)

Monitoring Examples

An operator sets bertSlotNumber, bertTestMedium, and bertPattern then bertControl to startBert to run a BERT test on a T1 line, and polls bertStatus and bertBitErrorCount; a bertStatus of bertOutOfSync or a rapidly climbing bertBitErrorCount relative to bertBitCount would indicate a faulty T1/E1 circuit or misconfigured loopback.

What Can Be Monitored

BERT control/workflow state and resource ownership
BERT status (in-sync, out-of-sync, failed)
bit count and bit error count
DDS seek results (detected line codes)
per-slot supported test capability masks

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
bert	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1
INT bertAbortReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.24	INTEGER	read-only	when the BERT is aborted, this object would give the reason for that.
I32 bertBitCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.20	Integer32	read-only	This shows the number of bits transmitted.
I32 bertBitErrorCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.21	Integer32	read-only	This shows the number of bits received in error.
INT bertCardT1E1Type	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.28.1.8	INTEGER	read-only	Specifies whether a t1 or e1 card.
INT bertCleanupAction	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.23	INTEGER	read-only	When the BERT has to be stopped or aborted (due to card state changes), this object would give the exact action to take. The bert related changes to the shelf, then, can be cleaned up. When its value is a Loopdown, it implies smCleanup plus the corresponding Loopdown.
INT bertControl	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object controls all the SET operations on this MIB group. acquireBert : Acquire BERT resources. cnfBert : Configure the required BERT test. startBert : The configured test has to be started. modBert : Modify parameters for the ongoing BERT test. delBert : Running BERT test has to be stopped. The above list shows the sequence in which the SET operations on this group need to be done, ideally. Bert can be operated upon only with bertUserId and bertSlotNumber. The default value is 0, means no action.
INT bertDDSCode	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.27.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	Denotes the type of DDS code detected.
bertDDSSeekResultsTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.27		not-accessible	This table contains all available DDS patterns detected and latched by an interaface(lines,ports etc) configured to detect DDS patterns.
bertDDSSeekResultsTableEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.27.1		not-accessible	An entry in the detected DDS codes table.
I32 bertDDSSeekResultsTableFirstIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.25	Integer32	read-only	Denotes the index of the oldest entry in the table. A value of zero means that there are no entries in the table.
I32 bertDDSSeekResultsTableIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.27.1.1	Integer32	read-only	Denotes the serial number of the entry in the table.
I32 bertDDSSeekResultsTableLastIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.26	Integer32	read-only	Denotes the index of the latest entry in the table. A value of zero means that there are no entries in the table.
INT bertDeviceToLoop	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.11	INTEGER	read-write	This shows the type of the end device and the type of the loopback used (latching/nonlatching/polynomial).
I32 bertDeviceToLoopMask	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.28.1.5	Integer32	read-only	Every class of devices to loop is represented by 6 bits of mask. Bits 0-29 are valid in this integer. The meaning of the mask can be understood from the example below: ----------------------------------------------------------- \| \| \| Test Medium Class of \| SM \| MODE \|________________________________ devices \|supp \| Loopback\|Line \|multiple T1 \| 64k \| 56k \| \| \| \| time slots \| \| ----------------------------------------------------------- noLatch \| 1 0 0 0 0 1 latch \| 1 1 0 0 1 1 v54 \| 1 1 0 1 1 1 inband/esf\| 1 1 1 0 0 0 metallic \| 1 0 1 0 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- (Table contents applicable to FRSM-4T1) bertDeviceToLoopMask = 001110011000100110000111011111 binary The column titles represent the variables bertDeviceToLoop depends on. The mask is represented in column major order. Due to the limitation on the length of the mask, 'noDevice' option is not represented in this mask. But, the mask for it, is assumed to be a row of ones except for a zero on 'MODE Loopback' column.
I32 bertDS0DPIterationCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.12	Integer32	read-write	The Iteration Register needs to be programmed in SRM when DSO drop loop option is selected in bertDeviceToLoop. The value to be programmed there is minus one of this object value, since the register is 0 based. DSP-OP devices can be cross connected in the centeral office. By this, the user has capablitiy to put any of the devices in the chain in loopback mode. This is done by repeating the latching activation code in a specific manner. The binary number in the iterataion register determines how many times the first portion of a latching loop activation code needs to be repeated as per user request and according to the Bellcore spec. A value of 0 results in no iteration and will cause the very first device in chain to go into loop back. A value of 1 will result into one iteration and will cause the second device to go into loopback and so on. The range of this count is 1 to 32, and it would translate to a range of 0 to 31 for the iteration register.
INT bertDS0Speed	1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.6.1.16	INTEGER	read-only	represents the ds0 speed of the test running.

The meaning of the mask can be understood from the example below: ----------------------------------------------------------- Mode \| SM support \| Test Medium: \| \| Multiple \| \| T1 time slots ----------------------------------------------------------- Pattern test \| 1 \| 1 DDS seek \| 1 \| 0 Loopback \| 1 \| 1 ----------------------------------------------------------- (Table contents applicable to FRSM-4T1) bertModeMask = 101111 binary The column titles represent the variables bertMode depends on. The mask is represented in column major order.
