Description: Equipe Communications SONET MIB providing interface configuration and APS (Automatic Protection Switching) management objects.

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 EQUIPE-SONET-MIB?

This is the Equipe Communications SONET MIB, providing interface configuration and Automatic Protection Switching (APS) management objects for SONET transport equipment. Given its naming and stated purpose, it exposes SONET-specific interface data, such as line/section/path configuration parameters and APS group state used to manage protection switching between working and protect SONET circuits. Its monitoring value centers on SONET interface and protection-switching status, which reflects the hardware/transport health of the optical network element, including whether a protection switch has occurred due to a line fault. No sample objects were available to confirm specific dependency, but SONET MIBs of this kind typically build on or parallel the IETF SONET/SDH interface MIB conventions. It is deployed in service-provider or enterprise optical transport networks using Equipe Communications SONET equipment. Engineers can download the EQUIPE-SONET-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EQUIPE-SONET-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.

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module, so specific object names cannot be grounded here; based on its stated scope, a realistic use would involve polling SONET interface configuration and APS group status to detect when protection switching has activated due to a working-circuit fault, but this cannot be confirmed against real object names without source data.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using eqSonetStatsLineFailures OID:

Select an Equipe Communications (later Ciena) SONET transport equipment (interface config/APS) 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 type eqSonetStatsLineFailures into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of line failure events. A line failure is an AIS-L signal received from another NE, or received from the same NE when internally generating an AIS-L signal in the LTE. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
equipe	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022
eqSonetMib	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3			This is the Equipe SONET MIB module.
eqSonetApsCfgTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1		not-accessible	This table contains aps config info for a sonet port.
eqSonetApsCfgEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1.1		not-accessible	A sonet port aps config entry.
EQS eqSonetApsCfgStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1.1.1	EqSonetApsCfgStatus	read-only	The current aps status for this sonet port.
EQS eqSonetApsCfgAction	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1.1.2	EqSonetApsCfgAction	read-write	This object is used to perform an aps action on a sonet port. A read on this object always returns the value other(1). Setting this object to clear(2) causes the port to revert back to default aps configuration. Setting this object to lockoutProtecting(3) prevents any of the working channels from switching to the protecting line. Setting this object to forcedSwitchWorkingToProtecting(4) switches the working port to the protecting port. Setting this object to forcedSwitchProtectingToWorking(5) switches the protecting port to the working port. Setting this object to manualSwitchWorkingToProtecting(6) switches the working port to the protecting port. Setting this object to manualSwitchProtectingToWorking(7) switches the protecting port to the working port.
EQS eqSonetApsCfgLastAction	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1.1.3	EqSonetApsCfgAction	read-only	This object indicates the last aps action requested on this port.
INT eqSonetApsCfgPortActive	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	This object is used to determine if the sts paths configured on this port are currrently actually terminated on this port. This is used to determine if the port is in active or standby mode. A value of false(1) indicates that the sts paths are not terminated (standby). A value of true(2) indicates that the sts paths are terminated (active).
eqSonetPathTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.2		not-accessible	This table contains config info for a sonet port.
eqSonetPathEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.2.1		not-accessible	A sonet path config entry.
INT eqSonetPathActualPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The ifIndex of the sonet port over which this path is actually running. Note that this value could be different from the sonet port that the sts path was originally configured.
eqSonetStatsTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3		not-accessible	This table contains stats for a sonet port.
eqSonetStatsEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1		not-accessible	A sonet port stats entry.
INT eqSonetStatsIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The ifIndex for the corresponding sonet port.
C32 eqSonetStatsLineFailuresEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.2	Counter32	read-only	The number of line failure events. A line failure is an AIS-L signal received from another NE, or received from the same NE when internally generating an AIS-L signal in the LTE.
C32 eqSonetStatsLineApsCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.3	Counter32	read-only	The number of times the service has switched from the working to the protect line.
C32 eqSonetStatsLineApsSwitchDuration	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.4	Counter32	read-only	The number of seconds the service has been carried on the protection line.
C32 eqSonetStatsLineStsPtrAdjustments	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.5	Counter32	read-only	The count of STS pointer adjustments created or absorbed by an NE due to differences in the frame rates of the incoming and outgoing sonet signal.
C32 eqSonetStatsPathFailures	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.6	Counter32	read-only	The number of path failure events. A path failure is an AIS-P signal received from another NE, or received from the same NE when internally generating an AIS-P signal in the PTE. A path with support for ERDI-P will increment this counter when an UNEQ-P failure is declared.
I32 eqSonetStatsTimeElapsed	1.3.6.1.4.1.5022.3.3.1.7	Integer32	read-only	The number of seconds, including partial seconds, that have elapsed since the beginning of the current measurement period. If, for some reason, such as an adjustment in the system's time-of-day clock, the current interval exceeds the maximum value, the agent will return the maximum value.
