Description: Livingston Enterprises PortMaster global MIB providing system-wide configuration and status objects for PortMaster remote access servers.

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 LIVINGSTON-PM-GLOBAL-MIB?

LIVINGSTON-PM-GLOBAL-MIB (later carried under the Lucent object prefix after Livingston Enterprises was acquired) is a vendor-specific MIB providing global, system-wide configuration and status objects for PortMaster remote access servers used for dial-up and early broadband RAS deployments. It covers network service configuration such as primary/alternate name servers, syslog host, assigned and reported IP addresses, netmask, domain name, Telnet port, maximum concurrent connections, and routing protocol enablement (OSPF, BGP). Its monitoring relevance leans toward software/configuration status -- confirming the RAS's network-service parameters and connection limits are correctly applied -- along with basic capacity monitoring via maximum concurrent connections. It is a self-contained enterprise MIB, though it would typically be used alongside RADIUS management objects (lucentPMRadiusMgmt) for authentication-related monitoring. It was deployed in ISPs and enterprises operating PortMaster dial-up/remote access concentrators in the 1990s, and a LIVINGSTON-PM-GLOBAL-MIB download is still available today for those maintaining legacy equipment.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LIVINGSTON-PM-GLOBAL-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

Livingston/Lucent PortMaster remote access server

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll lucentPMGenMaxConsConn to see how close a PortMaster unit is to its maximum concurrent connection limit during peak dial-in hours, and check lucentPMGenAssignedAddr versus lucentPMGenReportedAddr to confirm consistent IP addressing for the unit. Verifying lucentPMGenSyslogHost and lucentPMGenPriNameSrvr/lucentPMGenAltNameSrvr are correctly set ensures logging and name resolution are functioning, while lucentPMGenOSPF/lucentPMGenBGP flags confirm which routing protocols are active on the box.

What Can Be Monitored

current concurrent connection count vs. maximum
assigned vs. reported IP address
DNS/name server configuration
syslog host configuration
routing protocol (OSPF/BGP) enablement state

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
lucentPMGlobal	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1
lucentPMGenGlobParams	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1
IP lucentPMGenPriNameSrvr	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.1	IpAddress	read-write	The primary name server address. The name server allows the machines to be accessed using names instead of the IP addresses.
IP lucentPMGenAltNameSrvr	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.3	IpAddress	read-write	The alternate name server address. The alternate name server takes the responsibilities of the primary name server when the primary name server stops responding.
IP lucentPMGenSyslogHost	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.4	IpAddress	read-write	The host IP address where the syslog messages are sent.
IP lucentPMGenAssignedAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.5	IpAddress	read-write	The starting address for a pool of consecutive temporary addresses to be allocated by the PortMaster. This setting enables network login users to use IP addresses from this pool.
IP lucentPMGenReportedAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.6	IpAddress	read-write	The IP address different from ether0 interface address which is reported to the outside world during PPP or SLIP protocol negotiation. Use this feature, if your site should appear as a single IP address site.
INT lucentPMGenNetMask	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	The user netmask allows the PortMaster to add routes to dial-in users based on the netmask specified in the netmask object. This seting affects the routing and proxy ARP.
INT lucentPMGenNameSvc	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	Name service specifies the type of name resolution service used. The possible values are domain name service dns(2) or network information service nis(3). If either of them is not used, then the value of the object is none(1).
STR lucentPMGenDomainName	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.9	DisplayString	read-write	Domain name of the system. Example xxxxxxx.com, yyyyyyyy.org, zzzzzzzz.edu or ppppppppp.net etc.
INT lucentPMGenTelnetPortNum	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.10	INTEGER	read-write	Telnet port number.
INT lucentPMGenMaxConsConn	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.11	INTEGER	read-write	Maximum number of console connections.
INT lucentPMGenOSPF	1.3.6.1.4.1.307.1.2.1.1.12	INTEGER	read-write	Enable or disable Open Shortest Path First routing algorithm.
