Description: Core Livingston Enterprises SNMP MIB defining proprietary management objects for PortMaster and IRX dial-up routers.

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-SNMP?

LIVINGSTON-SNMP is a vendor-specific MIB from Livingston Enterprises defining proprietary management objects for the PortMaster family of dial-up access servers and routers, alongside a private re-implementation of MIB-II-style groups (system, interfaces, ip, icmp, tcp, udp) under the livingstonMib subtree. It models per-serial-port session state through the livingstonSerialTable (livingstonSerialPortName, livingstonSerialUser, livingstonSerialSessionId, livingstonSerialInSpeed/OutSpeed, livingstonSerialModemStatus, livingstonSerialModemRetrains) alongside T1/E1, modem, user accounting (livingstonUsers), and performance management (livingstonPerfMgmt) groups. It exposes hardware-health traps such as livingstonPwrSupFailTrap, livingstonFanFailTrap, livingstonBoardTooHotTrap, livingstonModemFailTrap, and livingstonT1E1LineDownTrap, making it useful for monitoring both active dial-up sessions and chassis environmental faults on legacy access concentrators. It depends on RFC1155-SMI and RFC-1212/RFC-1215 conventions rather than modern SNMPv2 constructs, reflecting its early-1990s origin, and it is deployed alongside the standard MIB-II tree on PortMaster and IRX router hardware; network engineers researching the LIVINGSTON-SNMP MIB will find it documents this legacy per-port and trap structure in detail.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LIVINGSTON-SNMP. 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 PortMaster dial-up access servers
  • Livingston IRX routers

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls livingstonSerialTable entries to check livingstonSerialModemStatus and livingstonSerialModemRetrains for a given livingstonSerialPortName, watching for rising retrain counts or a stuck 'connecting' state; a livingstonModemFailTrap or livingstonT1E1LineDownTrap arriving alongside would confirm a hardware-level link failure rather than a transient session drop.

What Can Be Monitored

  • serial port session/user status
  • modem status and retrain/renegotiate counters
  • T1/E1 line status
  • power supply and fan health traps
  • board temperature traps
  • interface octet/error counters
