NMS-POWER-EXT-MIB

Description: Monitors NMS Communications extended power supply status, input voltage, and redundancy configuration.

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.

NMS-POWER-EXT-MIB is a vendor MIB from NMS Communications providing extended monitoring of the device's power subsystem, including power supply status, input voltage, and redundancy configuration, as reflected in its module description defining a simple power status enumeration (down/up). It exposes hardware health data specifically about power supply operational state. This is a direct hardware-monitoring MIB: it lets an operator confirm each power supply unit is up and functioning, which is critical for detecting a failed or removed PSU before it causes a device outage, especially in redundant-power configurations. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is documented. It is deployed on NMS Communications network equipment (switches, routers, OLTs) that support dual or redundant power supplies for high-availability deployments. Engineers can download the NMS-POWER-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator would poll the per-power-supply status object (down(0)/up(1)) on a periodic basis to confirm both units in a redundant power configuration remain in the up state; a supply reporting down would trigger an immediate alert since the device is now running on a single, non-redundant power source. Specific table or per-unit index object names were not disclosed in the sample data.
