Description: Fore Systems LAN Emulation (LANE) MIB providing management of LES, BUS, and LECS components for emulated LAN services over ATM.

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 Fore-Lane-MIB?

Fore-Lane-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Fore Systems (an early ATM switch/networking vendor, later acquired by Marconi) for managing LAN Emulation (LANE) services over ATM networks. It defines configuration and status objects for LAN Emulation Clients (LECs), including the LES/BUS/LECS components that together let legacy Ethernet or Token Ring traffic run transparently over an ATM backbone. Its monitoring value is centered on emulated-LAN service health: administrative and operational status of each LEC, its ATM address, MAC address, and which emulated LAN (ELAN) and LECS configuration it is bound to. It complements the standard ATM Forum LANE architecture and IETF ATM MIBs by adding Fore-specific configuration detail. It was typically deployed in enterprise or carrier ATM backbones during the era when ATM was used to interconnect legacy LAN segments, and legacy-network archivists can still download the Fore-Lane-MIB file to load it into a MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Fore-Lane-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

Fore Systems ATM switch
ATM LAN Emulation Client (LEC) device

Monitoring Examples

An operator can poll lecConfTable/lecConfEntry to see each configured LEC's lecConfAtmAddress, lecConfElanName, and lecConfMacAddress, and compare lecConfAdminStatus against lecConfOperStatus to spot a LEC that is administratively enabled but operationally down. A mismatch typically signals a failure joining the emulated LAN, such as an unreachable LECS or misconfigured lecConfLecsConfigType. The lecStatGroup objects would additionally be polled for LANE-specific traffic and error counters on each client.

What Can Be Monitored

LEC administrative status
LEC operational status
ELAN name binding
LEC ATM and MAC address
LECS configuration type
