NORTEL-NMI-NOTIFICATIONS-MIB

Description: Provides the master notification registry for all Nortel NMI SNMP traps spanning configuration, fault, and informational events.

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.

NORTEL-NMI-NOTIFICATIONS-MIB is a Nortel enterprise MIB that serves as the master notification registry for the Nortel Network Management Interface (NMI), defining the OID branches for all NMI traps spanning configuration, fault, and informational events, along with a notification sequence number variable. Rather than exposing polled hardware/software status objects, its purpose is to organize and number the trap definitions used across the wider NMI MIB family, and to expose a sequence-number object that lets a management station detect missed or out-of-order traps. Its monitoring relevance is therefore about fault/event status - it is what a management station relies on to catch fault or configuration-change traps emitted by other NMI MIBs and to verify none were dropped via the sequence number. Compiling the NORTEL-NMI-NOTIFICATIONS-MIB file is a structural dependency for other Nortel NMI MIBs that define the actual trap OBJECT-TYPE/NOTIFICATION-TYPE payloads. It is deployed as part of Nortel's broader Network Management Interface framework on Nortel equipment that emits SNMP traps for fault and configuration events.

The module exposes a notification sequence number variable that an administrator can poll to detect gaps indicating dropped or out-of-order trap delivery from Nortel NMI-enabled devices. It otherwise defines notification (trap) OID branches rather than tables of runtime data, so there are no per-object counters to sample here. A monitoring station would primarily use this MIB by subscribing to the traps it registers and cross-checking the sequence number to ensure fault/config-change events were not missed.
