cmEthernetAccPortStatsLBC

Module: CM-PERFORMANCE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CM-PERFORMANCE-MIB::cmEthernetAccPortStatsLBC

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2544.1.12.5.1.1.1.32

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description:

Laser Bias Current (in mA) for the physical layer. This is applicable only if the media type for the Access Port is fiber.

What is cmEthernetAccPortStatsLBC?

This OID holds the electrical current (in milliamps) flowing through the laser in a fiber-optic port. It indicates the laser's health and power output; drift from normal values suggests aging hardware. A technician would monitor this monthly to predict when to replace an aging fiber module before it fails.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Ceragon IP-50C as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and locate cmEthernetAccPortStatsLBC under the cmEthernetAccPortStatsEntry branch of CM-PERFORMANCE-MIB, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the optical transceiver's laser bias current, in milliamps, on this Ethernet access port. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the bias current drifts well above its baseline reading, since a steadily rising bias current is a classic early warning sign of laser aging or degradation. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
