Description: Manages NMS Communications network interface configuration, operational state, and extended counters.

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-INTERFACES?

NMS-INTERFACES is a proprietary MIB (built on NMS-SMI) mirroring Cisco-style local-interface extensions to the standard interface table. Its table, keyed by interface, records hardware type, line protocol, last-input/output time (and output-hang), input/output bits and packets per second, runt/giant/CRC/framing/overrun/ignored/abort error counts, reset/restart counts, keepalive flag, down-reason, carrier transitions, and reliability/delay metrics. As a performance/diagnostic MIB it lets an administrator watch interface throughput and error rates comparable to Cisco 'show interfaces' output. It is deployed on networking equipment implementing this NMS-SMI-based interface extension. Engineers can download the NMS-INTERFACES file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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