Description: iTouch DECnet MIB providing SNMP objects for Digital Equipment Corporation DECnet protocol routing and node management.

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 ITOUCH-DECNET-MIB?

ITOUCH-DECNET-MIB is an Allied Telesis iTouch enterprise MIB supplying SNMP objects for managing DECnet, Digital Equipment Corporation's legacy proprietary networking protocol, on iTouch routing/terminal equipment. It exposes DECnet-specific configuration and operational data such as node addressing, routing state, and protocol-level counters relevant to DECnet traffic passing through the device. Its main monitoring value is confirming that the DECnet routing process on the device is running correctly and that nodes are reachable, functioning as a software/protocol-status view rather than a general hardware-health MIB. It is a vendor-specific extension that assumes an underlying DECnet Phase IV/V protocol stack and does not depend on standard IETF interface MIBs for its core semantics. It would be deployed in legacy DEC-based networks (common in the 1990s-2000s) where iTouch devices bridged or routed DECnet traffic alongside other protocols. Engineers can download the ITOUCH-DECNET-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ITOUCH-DECNET-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

  • iTouch Communications (later Black Box) router/terminal server (DECnet-capable)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would monitor DECnet node/area reachability and routing table entries exposed by this MIB to detect a DECnet node that has become unreachable or a routing adjacency that has dropped. No sample objects were provided for this module, so specific table names cannot be cited, but the MIB's purpose implies objects analogous to DECnet node address and routing circuit state. This is primarily a protocol-health check for DECnet-carrying links rather than a chassis hardware monitor.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DECnet node status
  • DECnet routing state
  • protocol reachability
  • node address configuration
