Description: General DataComm HDSL MIB for High-bit-rate DSL modem configuration, line status, and performance statistics.

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 GDCHDSL-MIB?

GDCHDSL-MIB is a General DataComm proprietary MIB for managing HDSL (High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) modems, covering firmware download/management, line configuration, and maintenance functions. It exposes objects for tracking active versus stored firmware revisions, firmware download status, and per-line maintenance settings on the HDSL modem. It directly supports monitoring software status through gdcHdslActiveFirmwareRev and gdcHdslStoredFirmwareRev (confirming which firmware version is running versus staged) and gdcHdslStoredFirmwareStatus (download/validation state), while gdcHdslDownloadingMode and gdcHdslEraseFlash relate to in-progress firmware update operations that an operator would track for completion or failure. GDCHDSL-MIB SNMP monitoring is primarily used to confirm firmware version consistency and download progress across a fleet of HDSL modems. It is a General DataComm proprietary MIB with no stated dependency on external IETF DSL standards MIBs, and it is deployed on General DataComm HDSL modem/line-termination equipment in telecom access networks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in GDCHDSL-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

  • General DataComm HDSL modems/line-termination units

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls gdcHdslDownloadTable/gdcHdslDownloadEntry, keyed by gdcHdslDownloadIndex, to track a firmware upgrade in progress, checking gdcHdslDownloadingMode for completion and gdcHdslStoredFirmwareStatus to confirm the new image validated successfully before triggering gdcHdslSwitchActiveFirmware. Comparing gdcHdslActiveFirmwareRev against gdcHdslStoredFirmwareRev after a switch-over confirms the modem is now running the intended firmware version. gdcHdslMaintenanceTable/gdcHdslMaintenanceEntry, indexed by gdcHdslMaintenanceLineIndex, is checked when diagnosing a specific HDSL line's maintenance/loopback state.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active firmware revision
  • stored firmware revision
  • firmware download/validation status
  • firmware download progress
  • per-line maintenance status
