ERICSSON-ROUTER-ERICSSON-ALARM-CAP

Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for the Ericsson proprietary alarm management MIB.

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.

This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module for Ericsson router platforms (the former RedBack Networks SmartEdge/SEOS product line), describing which parts of the companion ERICSSON-ALARM-MIB a given agent release actually implements. It does not expose any operational data itself; instead it maps supported object groups and compliance statements for alarm management, such as active-alarm tables, severities, and acknowledge/clear operations. As a capabilities declaration it is used indirectly to confirm that a device's SNMP agent can report hardware and software fault conditions like power, temperature, or process alarms via the underlying alarm MIB. It is explicitly dependent on, and meaningless without, the ERICSSON-ALARM-MIB it documents conformance to. It is typically consulted by NMS/MIB-compiler tooling during onboarding of a new router firmware release rather than polled live. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-ERICSSON-ALARM-CAP file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

As an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module, ERICSSON-ROUTER-ERICSSON-ALARM-CAP defines no runtime data objects (sample_objects is empty); it only lists which groups/compliances of ERICSSON-ALARM-MIB are supported. There is no realistic SNMP polling scenario for this module itself — it is read once by MIB management tooling to verify feature support, not queried for live status.

Defines agent capabilities for Ericsson alarm management on EPS-C and CGW platforms.
