Description: Eicon Technology's port-level MIB, used to manage individual WAN ports, including line parameters, on Eicon communications adapters.

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 EICON-MIB-PORT?

EICON-MIB-PORT is a vendor MIB from Eicon Technology (a manufacturer of WAN communications adapters and ISDN/leased-line interface cards, later part of Dialogic) that manages individual physical WAN ports on Eicon adapters. It focuses on port-level configuration and operational data: port identification (LANA number, card location, descriptive name), the set of supported line protocols, and the port's administrative and operational state. Its main use for hardware/software status monitoring is tracking portOperState against portAdminStateCtr to detect a WAN port that has failed to come up or dropped from service, along with portOpenTime to see how long a port has been active since its last state change. It is a self-contained vendor MIB with no strong stated dependency on other standard MIBs beyond general SNMPv2 SMI conventions. The EICON-MIB-PORT MIB is typically deployed on Eicon WAN adapter cards installed in servers or communications gateways providing leased-line, ISDN, or frame relay connectivity.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EICON-MIB-PORT. 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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll portTable/portEntry across all portIndex values, comparing portOperState to portAdminStateCtr to spot a port that is administratively enabled but operationally down — indicating a line fault or cabling issue on that specific WAN port. portOpenTime dropping to a small value unexpectedly would reveal that a port has recently reset, and portProtocols confirms which line protocol (e.g. frame relay, PPP) is configured on that port.

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
eicon	1.3.6.1.4.1.434
NTF portTrapStateChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.0.31			The trap indicates that the port has changed state.

port	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3
POR portNumberOfPorts	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.1	PortRef	read-only	The number of existing ports on all installed EiconCards, as seen by the Agent.
portTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2		not-accessible	The table of the ports seen by the agent.
portEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1		not-accessible	The set of attributes for one port.
POR portIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.1	PortRef	read-only	The index of the port generated by the Agent. Used in all other tables refering to ports.
POR portLanaNo	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.2	PortRef	read-only	The LANA number of the port from the configuration, range: 1..48.
POR portName	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.3	PortName	read-only	The unique port name.
CAR portCardLocation	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.4	CardRef	read-only	The card reference. It should match the cardIndex (from the cardTable) of the card that this port belongs to.
STR portDescription	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	A general description of the port set by the Operator.
OPE portOperState	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.6	OperState	read-only	The operational state of the port.
ADM portAdminStateCtr	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.7	AdminState	read-write	The parameter that can be modified by the Operator in order to change the state of the port. The value 'locked' is used to stop the port, the value 'unlocked' isued to start the port.
TIK portOpenTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.8	TimeTicks	read-only	The time the port was activated.
INT portProtocols	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.9	INTEGER	read-only	The mask indicating what is running on the port: lapb=0x1, sdlc=0x2, x25=0x4, frbs=0x8, dialer=0x100, ppp=0x1000.
INT portDialerType	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.10	INTEGER	read-only	The dialer type.
ACT portActionState	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.11	ActionState	read-only	The state of the operation performed on the port by the Agent as a result of setting the values to the portAdminStateCtr. The Management station will poll that variable after initiating an action on the port. The value done(1) indicates that the action terminated successfully. The value failed(2) indicates that the action terminated with an error. In this case the variable portActionError indicates the error code.
INT portActionError	1.3.6.1.4.1.434.2.2.3.2.1.12	INTEGER	read-only	The error code after the unsuccessful operation.
