Description: Declares Ericsson router agent capabilities for the IETF Alarm MIB (RFC 3877).
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 ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-ALARM-CAP?
ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-ALARM-CAP is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module stating which parts of the standard IETF Alarm MIB (RFC 3877) are implemented on Ericsson SmartEdge/SM/SSR router platforms for a given SEOS software release. It defines no alarm data itself -- actual alarm status, severity, and history live in the underlying ALARM-MIB -- but documents which alarm object groups and compliances the agent supports. This is relevant to fault monitoring: it tells a management system whether it can rely on standardized alarm-reporting objects (e.g., active alarm lists, alarm severity) to detect device-level faults on a specific Ericsson platform/version. It explicitly depends on the IETF ALARM-MIB (RFC 3877) whose conformance it describes. It's used in NMS onboarding/discovery to confirm standardized alarm-monitoring support before relying on it for fault management of Ericsson routers, making the ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-ALARM-CAP MIB a standard reference during that onboarding step.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-IETF-ALARM-CAP. 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
- Ericsson SmartEdge Multi-service Edge Router (MSER)
- Ericsson SM Metro Ethernet Service Transport platform
- Ericsson Smart Service Router (SSR)
Monitoring Examples
As an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module it only declares SUPPORTS statements referencing the standard ALARM-MIB's groups and compliances per SEOS PRODUCT-RELEASE; it defines no runtime alarm objects itself, so no concrete polling scenario applies.
