Description: ATM Forum MIB for managing Emulated LAN (ELAN) configuration, virtual connections, and associated parameters in ATM LANE.

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-ELAN-MIB?

LAN-EMULATION-ELAN-MIB is an ATM Forum-defined standards MIB for managing Emulated LAN (ELAN) services in ATM LAN Emulation (LANE) environments, where an ATM network presents itself to end stations as an emulated Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. Its categories include ELAN configuration via the elanConfTable, virtual connection associations, and LANE-specific service parameters such as LES/BUS/LECS addressing. Its monitoring emphasis is primarily configuration and connection-state visibility for the emulated LAN service — confirming which ELANs are configured, their assigned index, and the state of underlying LANE virtual circuits — rather than physical hardware sensors. It is specific to ATM Forum LANE and depends on underlying ATM/AAL and ATM-MIB objects for physical/VC-layer detail. It is deployed on legacy ATM switches and LANE servers (LES/BUS/LECS) used to bridge ATM backbones with legacy Ethernet/Token Ring segments. Looking up a specific LAN-EMULATION-ELAN-MIB OID, such as the one for elanConfTable, is often the fastest way to confirm exactly which ELAN attribute a given management tool is displaying.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LAN-EMULATION-ELAN-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 (ATM Forum LANE), not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • ATM switch or LANE server (LES/BUS/LECS)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would consult elanConfTable, indexed using the next-available ELAN index, to see which Emulated LANs are configured on the device and to create a new ELAN entry when provisioning one. Because sample objects beyond elanConfTable weren't captured here, deeper per-connection detail such as LES/BUS virtual circuit state would be found in adjoining LANE tables not listed. An unexpected gap or reused index in elanConfTable could indicate a stale or improperly torn-down ELAN configuration on the LANE server.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ELAN configuration table entries
  • ELAN index assignment
  • emulated LAN service configuration state
