Description: Manages value-added service parameters including compression and encryption on Net Insight Nimbra transport 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 NETI-VAS-MIB?

NETI-VAS-MIB is a Net Insight vendor MIB for Video Appliance Services, covering setup and monitoring of reliable video transport over IP networks on Nimbra platform devices. It models physical video ports (such as ASI or SDI interfaces) and video encoder/decoder processing pipelines, exposing both configuration objects and operational status. It is used for monitoring hardware and software status of video interfaces, including administrative and operational port state, failure conditions, and statistics-reset tracking, which together reveal signal loss, encoder faults, or misconfigured input sources. As a still-evolving ("work in progress") module, it is closely tied to the broader Net Insight Nimbra device and interface model shared with other neti- MIBs. It is deployed in broadcast and media contribution/distribution networks where video signals are encoded, transported, and decoded over IP, and engineers typically obtain a NETI-VAS-MIB download to load these objects into their monitoring tools.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETI-VAS-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

  • Net Insight Nimbra media transport node
  • video encoder/decoder appliance

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk vasIfTable/vasIfEntry to enumerate physical video ports, checking vasIfAdminStatus against vasIfOperStatus to spot a port that is administratively enabled but operationally down. The vasIfFailure object on a given index would identify the specific fault type when a video input drops, and vasIfLastChanged shows when that state last transitioned. Reviewing vasIfInputFrom and vasIfPortMode confirms whether a port is correctly wired to its intended encoder pipeline source.

What Can Be Monitored

  • video port admin/operational status
  • port failure condition
  • port mode and input source
  • last status change time
  • statistics reset tracking

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using vasEncPipeProcessedFrames OID:

Select a Net Insight Nimbra media transport node (Video Appliance Services) 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 vasEncPipeProcessedFrames into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the running counter of number of encoded frames. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
