What Is NNCGNI00X4-MIB?
NNCGNI00X4-MIB is a legacy vendor-specific module from Newbridge Networks (whose product lines were later absorbed into Alcatel/Alcatel-Lucent) covering the GNI module, a network-access/interface card used in Newbridge's multiplexer/access platforms. Based on its description it is expected to expose interface and port-level configuration and status objects for the GNI card, though the source MIB text supplies no further detail or sample object list beyond its name and purpose, and no NNCGNI00X4-MIB download containing the full object definitions has surfaced in commonly available public MIB archives to fill that gap. As a card/port management MIB its likely monitoring role centers on operational status—whether ports/interfaces on the GNI module are up, administratively enabled, and correctly configured—functioning as a basic hardware-status indicator for the card rather than exposing rich performance counters. Given its era and vendor, it likely depends on Newbridge's own proprietary enterprise MIB tree rather than modern IETF conventions. It would have been deployed on legacy Newbridge access multiplexer chassis carrying GNI interface modules in carrier or enterprise WAN environments.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NNCGNI00X4-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- GNI port administrative status
- GNI interface operational status
- port configuration parameters
Supported Devices
- Newbridge Networks access multiplexer with GNI interface module
Monitoring Examples
Without a supplied object list, only a general scenario can be described: an operator would be expected to poll a GNI port/interface table for administrative and operational status to confirm a given port is up and correctly provisioned. Because no concrete table or object names are available for this module, a more specific polling example cannot be responsibly constructed. Any real deployment would need to consult the original Newbridge MIB source for exact object names.

FAQ
What can NNCGNI00X4-MIB tell you about a GNI interface module on a legacy Newbridge access multiplexer?
It's expected to expose port-level status for the GNI card -- whether ports/interfaces are administratively enabled, operationally up, and correctly configured -- functioning as a basic hardware-status indicator for that interface module.
Why would you poll NNCGNI00X4-MIB rather than relying only on a generic interface MIB for a Newbridge GNI card?
Because it covers GNI-specific port administrative status, interface operational status, and configuration parameters registered under Newbridge's own proprietary enterprise tree -- detail that a vendor-neutral interface MIB wouldn't capture for this particular card.
