Description: Manages NMS Communications Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching ring protocol configuration and fault state.

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 NMS-EAPS-MIB?

NMS-EAPS-MIB is a legacy proprietary MIB (built on NMS-SMI) implementing EAPS (Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching, RFC 3619-style ring protection). Its objects cover running-ring-instance count, PDU RX/TX counts, and a ring table (ID, node type, control VLAN, ports, state, health-check flag, hello/fail/preforward time, admin status, primary/secondary port and their state/status), alongside a ring-port table. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm an Ethernet ring's protection state and primary/secondary port role on this switch. It is deployed on legacy switching equipment with EAPS ring protection (NMS-SMI vendor line). Engineers can download the NMS-EAPS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NMS-EAPS-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

  • Legacy switching equipment (EAPS ring protection, NMS-SMI vendor line)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks nmsEAPSRingState and nmsEAPSRingPrimaryPortState to confirm an Ethernet ring's protection status and primary port role on this switch.
