MTSALLSTREAM-MIB

Description: Manages MTS Allstream network equipment configuration and service status.

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.

MTSALLSTREAM-MIB is a carrier-specific MIB used by MTS Allstream (a Canadian telecommunications carrier) to define service notifications for its managed network equipment. It exposes a CIC (Circuit Identification Code) event structure carrying event ID, node identifier, event message text, and severity, delivered as SNMP notifications rather than polled counters. This MIB is fundamentally a fault/event-notification MIB: it lets an operations center monitor real-time fault and status events (via allstreamNotifications) surfaced from carrier equipment, using severity and trap-reason fields to triage which network element and condition triggered an alert. It depends on the standard SNMP notification framework (SNMPv2-CONF/TC conventions) for its trap and conformance structure. It is deployed within MTS Allstream's carrier network operations, generating alerts from managed customer-facing or backbone equipment into the carrier's NOC systems, making the MTSALLSTREAM-MIB MIB central to Allstream's fault-monitoring infrastructure.

A NOC operator would receive an allstreamNotifications trap carrying cicEventID, cicNode, and cicEventMessage, then check cicEventSeverity to prioritize response and cicEventTrapReason to understand the specific fault condition. A burst of high-severity events from the same cicNode would indicate a specific network element is experiencing a sustained fault requiring escalation. allstreamCICEventEntities would be referenced to correlate which physical or logical entities on the node are affected.
