Description: Lucent Technologies MIB defining generic firmware download and software upgrade objects for Lucent telecommunications platforms.

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 LUCENT-GENERIC-DLOAD-MIB?

LUCENT-GENERIC-DLOAD-MIB is a Lucent Technologies proprietary module providing a generic mechanism for downloading and uploading firmware/software images to Lucent telecommunications equipment. It defines objects to initiate, control, and track firmware transfer operations, typically including target file identification, transfer status, and completion/result codes. Its monitoring relevance is centered on software status: administrators use it to confirm firmware version state, track in-progress download/upload jobs, and detect failed or stalled software upgrade operations. As a private MIB it is generally used in combination with Lucent's broader enterprise MIB tree for device identification and status. It is typically deployed during maintenance windows on Lucent carrier and enterprise telecom platforms when performing coordinated firmware upgrades across a fleet of devices, and the LUCENT-GENERIC-DLOAD-MIB download is available for administrators to load into a MIB browser beforehand.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LUCENT-GENERIC-DLOAD-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

  • Lucent Technologies telecommunications platforms

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would trigger a firmware download job via this MIB's control objects and then poll its status object to confirm whether the transfer is in progress, completed successfully, or has failed. A status object stuck in an in-progress or error state longer than expected would reveal a failed firmware upgrade needing manual intervention before the device can be safely rebooted.

What Can Be Monitored

  • firmware download/upload job status
  • transfer completion result
  • target image identification
  • download initiation control

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using luDeviceCount OID:

Select a Lucent Technologies telecommunications platform (firmware download/upload) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type luDeviceCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of entries in the Location table. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count changes from its expected baseline, since that would indicate the underlying set of items changed unexpectedly. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
