Description: ADVA Optical Networking F3 platform MIB for Optical Transport Network (OTN/G.709) layer management and performance monitoring.

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 F3-OTN-MIB?

F3-OTN-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from ADVA Optical Networking for the F3 (FSP150CM/CC) platform, modeling Optical Transport Network (OTN/G.709) layer configuration and performance on Ethernet network ports. Its f3OtnNetPortExtTable augments the vendor's cmEthernetNetPortEntry with OTN-specific fields — f3OtnNetPortFacilityType (e.g., otu2e-eth), f3OtnNetPortFec (none, gfec, efec-1, efec-2), Trace Identifier Mismatch detection/AIS-insert settings for both OTU and ODU layers, and transmitted/received TTI SAPI/DAPI/OpSp strings — while f3OtnPerfObjects carries 64-bit performance counters such as pre-FEC bit-error rate, FEC corrected-error and uncorrectable-block counts, and OTU/ODU background block errors, in both current and historical (CmPmIntervalType) buckets. This detail is useful for monitoring the health of an OTN transport link at the framing and FEC level, well below what plain Ethernet counters would show. It depends on the vendor's CM-FACILITY-MIB, CM-COMMON-MIB, CM-PERFORMANCE-MIB, and ADVA-MIB for the parent OID and shared Ethernet port entries, and is deployed on ADVA FSP150CM/CC optical transport network elements; this F3-OTN-MIB is intended for SNMP monitoring of OTN transport links.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in F3-OTN-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

  • ADVA Optical Networking FSP150CM/CC (F3 platform) optical transport network elements

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls f3OtnNetPortStatsExtFecCorrErr and f3OtnNetPortStatsExtFecUncorrBlockErr on an OTU2e-eth facility to gauge optical-path signal quality; a rise in uncorrectable FEC block errors, together with a Trace Identifier Mismatch flagged via f3OtnNetPortTtiActualRxHexOtu not matching the expected SAPI/DAPI, would indicate a degrading or misconnected OTN fiber path.

What Can Be Monitored

  • OTN facility type and FEC configuration per port
  • Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) detection and AIS insertion
  • transmitted/received TTI SAPI/DAPI/OpSp strings
  • pre-FEC bit error rate
  • FEC corrected/uncorrectable block error counts
  • OTU/ODU background block error history

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using f3OtnNetPortStatsExtFecErrSec OID:

Select an ADVA Optical Networking FSP150CM/CC (F3 platform) carrier Ethernet device (OTN/G.709 transport) 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 f3OtnNetPortStatsExtFecErrSec 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. It reports fEC 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 an Integer32-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.
