Description: Eastern Research Inc. DNX Hybrid DS3 MIB for managing HDS3 card T1/E1 framing, LCV, and cross-connect configuration.

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 ERI-DNX-HDS3-MIB?

ERI-DNX-HDS3-MIB is an Eastern Research Inc. proprietary MIB for managing Hybrid DS3 (HDS3) cards within DNX digital cross-connect chassis, which break down a DS3 into constituent T1/E1 circuits. It exposes per-port configuration data including facility/equipment/frame identifiers, physical location, port naming, and generator settings, organized in a port configuration table keyed by device address and resource. Its monitoring purpose centers on hardware identification and configuration status of the HDS3 card and its ports -- confirming the correct card, frame, and port are installed and configured as expected, which underlies fault isolation on multiplexed T1/E1 circuits carried over the DS3. No explicit dependency on another standard MIB is stated, consistent with it being a vendor-specific hardware-management extension within ERI's DNX product line. It is deployed on ERI DNX cross-connect chassis in telecom transport networks carrying multiplexed T1/E1 traffic over DS3 facilities. Engineers can download the ERI-DNX-HDS3-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERI-DNX-HDS3-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

  • Eastern Research Inc. DNX digital cross-connect chassis (HDS3 cards)

Monitoring Examples

A technician would walk hds3PortConfigTable/hds3PortConfigEntry to confirm each port's hds3FacilityId, hds3EquipmentId, and hds3Location match the physical card installed, verifying correct provisioning after a card swap. hds3UnitName and hds3PortNumber let the technician map a logical port back to a specific physical connector during troubleshooting. hds3FrameId confirms which frame in a multi-frame DNX system houses the reporting card, useful when isolating a fault to a specific shelf.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port facility/equipment identification
  • physical location of card/port
  • frame and unit identification
  • port naming/numbering
  • port generator configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hds3LIUBertErrSecs OID:

Select an Eastern Research Inc. (ERI) DNX digital cross-connect/multiplexer (Hybrid DS3 card) 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 hds3LIUBertErrSecs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This is the number of LIU Bert Errored seconds. 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.
