Description: Specifies notifications carried over the Nortel Network Management Interface for configuration-change events on Nortel devices.

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 NORTEL-NMI-CONFIG-NOTI-MIB?

NORTEL-NMI-CONFIG-NOTI-MIB is a Nortel Networks proprietary MIB that defines SNMP notifications related to configuration management events across Nortel's Network Management Interface (NMI), a common management framework used by multiple Nortel product lines. It exposes trap/notification definitions rather than pollable data objects, alerting a management station whenever a device configuration change occurs. Its monitoring value is on the software/configuration status side: it lets administrators detect unauthorized or unexpected configuration changes on Nortel equipment in near real time, supporting change-audit and security monitoring rather than hardware health. It builds on the shared Nortel NMI notification framework used across other Nortel MIBs, indicating a dependency on that common infrastructure rather than an external IETF standard. It is typically deployed across a range of Nortel Networks devices (switches, routers, and other NMI-compliant equipment) where centralized configuration-change auditing is required, making NORTEL-NMI-CONFIG-NOTI-MIB SNMP monitoring a key part of change-audit and security workflows on Nortel equipment.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NORTEL-NMI-CONFIG-NOTI-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.

Monitoring Examples

As this MIB defines only notification objects rather than a polled data model, no sample runtime objects were captured, and it would honestly be described as a notification-only module rather than one with pollable tables. An administrator would configure their management station to trap on these Nortel NMI configuration-change notifications, and a notification arriving outside a scheduled maintenance window would reveal an unexpected or unauthorized configuration change on the device.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
nortelNMIneRegistrationNotificationGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.2.1.2.1			Nortel NMI NE registration notifications group.
nortelNMIneAttrChangeNotificationGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.2.1.2.2			Nortel NMI NE attribute change notification group.
nortelNMIconfigNotiMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3			This module contains the configuration management related notifications for the Nortel NMI.
nortelNMIconfigNotiPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.0			This OID represents the prefix branch for all Nortel NMI configuration Notifications. The last but one sub identifier in the OID of any Notification must have the value zero to facilitate v2v1 conversion.
NTF nortelNMIneEnrolNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.0.11			This notification indicates that an NE has been enrolled into the EMS management domain. The varbinds include all the key attributes required by the NMS.
NTF nortelNMIneDeEnrolNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.0.12			This notification indicates that an NE has been deenrolled from the EMS management domain.
NTF nortelNMIneAttributeChangeNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.0.13			This notification indicates that an NE attribute has been changed. The modified value of the specific attribute would be included as the varbind in the actual Notification PDU. We currently support changes to version information, vendor name and location name and the NE Reach through IP address.
nortelNMIconfigNotiVarbinds	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1			This OID represents the branch which contains varbinds to configuration management related notifications.
NOR nortelNMInotifyNeDeEnrolTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.1	NortelNMItimeStampDef	accessible-for-notify	This variable represents the time at which the NE for formally deenrolled. NortelNMItimeStampDef textual convention is defined at the NORTEL-NMI-TC-MIB.
NOR nortelNMInotifyNeEnrolTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.2	NortelNMItimeStampDef	accessible-for-notify	This variable represents the time at which the NE was formally enrolled in the EMS management domain. NortelNMItimeStampDef textual convention is defined at the NORTEL-NMI-TC-MIB.
IP nortelNMInotifyNeIPaddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.3	IpAddress	accessible-for-notify	This variable represents the IP address of the Network Element, with which an NMS can reach through to the Network element directly.
STR nortelNMInotifyNeVersionInfo	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.4	DisplayString	accessible-for-notify	This variable contains the version information of Network Element. Software / Hardware version data can be filled in as values as appropriate to the NE in context.
STR nortelNMInotifyNeVendorName	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.5	DisplayString	accessible-for-notify	This variable contains the Network Element vendor name.
STR nortelNMInotifyNeLocationName	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.6	DisplayString	accessible-for-notify	This variable represents the location information of Network Element. An example could be the Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) of the NE.
NOR nortelNMInotifyNeDataChangeTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3.1.7	NortelNMItimeStampDef	accessible-for-notify	This variable represents the time at which a certain NE attribute was modified.
