Description: ATM Forum MIB for managing LAN Emulation Client (LEC) configuration and ELAN membership in ATM LANE environments.

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 LAN-EMULATION-CLIENT-MIB?

LAN-EMULATION-CLIENT-MIB is an ATM Forum-defined, vendor-neutral standards MIB for managing LAN Emulation Client (LEC) nodes that let legacy Ethernet/802.x LAN protocols run over ATM networks by emulating a broadcast LAN segment (an "emulated LAN" or ELAN). It exposes configuration and status data about LEC entities, such as their ELAN membership, LES/BUS/LECS server addresses, and emulation-related interface parameters. Administrators use it to monitor the operational status of the LEC's connection to its emulated LAN -- whether the client is properly joined to its ELAN, its configured versus operational parameters, and the health of the underlying ATM interface supporting emulation. It is explicitly meant to be used alongside the AToM MIB and the standard MIB-II/RFC 1573 ifTable, since each LEC corresponds to an emulated network interface tracked there. It is deployed in legacy ATM LAN Emulation environments where ATM switches or edge devices bridge Ethernet-style traffic over an ATM backbone. A LAN-EMULATION-CLIENT-MIB reference in an ATM device's MIB support list indicates that the platform can expose per-LEC ELAN membership and server-address status via SNMP.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LAN-EMULATION-CLIENT-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • ATM switches/edge devices implementing LAN Emulation Clients

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module beyond its description, so specific table names cannot be grounded here; per the module description, an admin would monitor per-LEC entries correlating with ifTable entries for each emulated interface, such as ELAN join status and LES/BUS server addressing, cross-referenced with the AToM MIB for the underlying ATM circuit. This is a legacy standards MIB tied to ATM LAN Emulation deployments rather than a currently common monitoring target in most networks.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ELAN (emulated LAN) membership status
  • LEC operational state
  • LES/BUS/LECS server configuration
  • associated ATM interface status
