Description: Defines NMS Communications enterprise SMI root OID structure and registration arc for all NMS MIBs.

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-SMI?

NMS-SMI is the Structure of Management Information module for NMS Communications' enterprise product line, a maker of media/voice processing and telephony hardware, defining the top-level OID registration arc for all NMS-specific MIBs. No functional data objects were identified in this module; its module description indicates it primarily establishes subtrees like nmsPolicyAuto for automatically-assigned Policy Management OIDs, i.e., it is purely structural. It therefore has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status; that is the responsibility of the functional NMS Communications MIBs that register under this SMI. It is a foundational dependency for the broader NMS Communications MIB family. It is deployed with NMS Communications media/voice processing boards and telephony platforms, and any specific NMS-SMI OID one encounters in a trap or trace ultimately resolves back to this SMI's registration arc, even though the module itself defines no pollable objects.

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

  • NMS Communications media/voice processing and telephony hardware

Monitoring Examples

This module defines only OID registration subtrees (such as nmsPolicyAuto for policy-management OID assignment) with no runtime tables or scalars, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe; actual device status objects would reside in functional NMS Communications MIBs built on this SMI.
