What Is NNCGNI00X7-MIB?
NNCGNI00X7-MIB is a Newbridge Networks proprietary MIB covering the GNI (generic network interface) module used in Newbridge's ATM/multiservice switching chassis. It defines management objects for reporting hardware alarms and fault conditions detected on GNI line/interface cards rather than traffic-performance counters. Its primary monitoring role is hardware status: it surfaces card-level fault and alarm states so operators can detect a failed or degraded GNI module, complementing the vendor's separate ATM traffic-statistics MIBs. Operators typically consult the NNCGNI00X7-MIB MIB definitions only when troubleshooting an active alarm on a specific chassis slot, since the module exists mainly to name GNI fault conditions rather than to expose traffic counters. As a chassis submodule MIB it typically depends on a broader Newbridge chassis/equipment MIB for slot and card-identification context. It was deployed on legacy Newbridge (later Alcatel) multiservice switching platforms where GNI cards provide network interface connectivity.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NNCGNI00X7-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
- Newbridge Networks multiservice switch chassis
- GNI interface module/card
Monitoring Examples
An operator polls the GNI module's alarm-status objects for a given chassis slot/card to detect whether a fault condition such as loss of signal or card failure has been raised; a transition from normal to alarmed state on a GNI card indicates a hardware fault requiring card replacement or reseating.
What Can Be Monitored
- GNI card alarm status
- hardware fault conditions
- interface module operational state

FAQ
What does NNCGNI00X7-MIB monitor on a Newbridge GNI card?
It defines management objects for reporting hardware alarms and fault conditions detected on the GNI line/interface card, rather than traffic-performance counters, so operators can see card-level fault and alarm states.
How would this MIB help detect a failed GNI module in a multiservice switch chassis?
By polling its alarm and fault objects you can identify a failed or degraded GNI module, complementing the vendor's separate ATM traffic-statistics MIBs that track throughput rather than hardware faults.
