Description: Defines alarm notifications and active alarm table for Ericsson SNF (Service Node Framework) platforms.

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-SNF-ALARM-MIB?

ERICSSON-SNF-ALARM-MIB is an Ericsson proprietary MIB implementing alarm reporting per the SNF (a specific Ericsson Fault Management requirements document) team's specification, building on the standard ALARM-MIB and ITU-ALARM-MIB frameworks. Its two objects report an alarm's active state and clear state. As a hardware/software-status MIB it lets a management station determine whether a specific alarm condition is currently active or has been cleared, following Ericsson's standardized fault-management alarm model. It is deployed on Ericsson equipment implementing SNF-aligned fault management. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-SNF-ALARM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-SNF-ALARM-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

  • Ericsson equipment implementing SNF-aligned fault management

Monitoring Examples

A management station polls snfAlarmActiveState for a specific alarm to confirm whether it's still active before deciding whether an earlier notification requires continued escalation.

What Can Be Monitored

  • alarm active/clear state
