What Is CXSnaLinkConversionModule-MIB?

CXSnaLinkConversionModule-MIB is a Memotec/Aastra CX product MIB for managing SNA link conversion, specifically bridging SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Control) traffic to LLC2 (IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control Type 2) over LAN/WAN links. It exposes SAP tables and cross-connect tables that define how SDLC-attached SNA devices are mapped to LLC2 sessions, along with timers controlling connection establishment and contact wait behavior. It is used to monitor the software/protocol status of SNA-to-LLC2 conversion sessions, confirming cross-connects are established and stable, and that connection timers aren't repeatedly expiring, which would indicate a failing SNA link or misconfigured remote device. It depends on the vendor's CXProduct-SMI for OID placement and interacts conceptually with underlying LAN (Token Bus/Ethernet) and SDLC serial interface MIBs that carry the converted traffic. It was deployed on Memotec/Aastra CX access devices used to integrate legacy IBM SNA/SDLC mainframe links into modern LAN environments via LLC2 conversion gateways. Engineers can download the CXSnaLinkConversionModule-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CXSnaLinkConversionModule-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

  • Memotec/Aastra CX SNA/SDLC-to-LLC2 conversion gateway

Monitoring Examples

An operator polling snalcCrossConnectTable can inspect snalcCrossConnectConnectInterval and snalcCrossConnectWaitContactTimer values to see how long the device is waiting to establish or re-establish an SNA-to-LLC2 session, flagging a cross-connect stuck in a retry loop. The snalcSapTable exposes configured SAP mappings, letting an administrator confirm the correct LLC2 SAP is associated with each SDLC-attached SNA controller. Repeated timer expirations visible via snalcCrossConnectSlowConnectInterval would point to a downstream SNA device that is slow to respond or offline.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SNA-to-LLC2 cross-connect status
  • SAP table mappings
  • connection/retry timers
  • contact wait timer expirations
