What Is NORTEL-NMI-NOTIFICATIONS-MIB?
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.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NORTEL-NMI-NOTIFICATIONS-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
- notification sequence number (trap-loss detection)
Supported Devices
- Nortel Networks equipment using the NMI framework
Monitoring Examples
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.
OIDs
| OID symbolic | OID numeric | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| nortelNMInotificationsMIB | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6 | This module contains the notification branches for the Nortel NMI along with the definition of the notification sequence number variable. | ||
| U32 nortelNMIcurrentTxNotificationSequenceNum | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.1 | Unsigned32 | read-only | This variable represents the sequence number of the Notifications and is incremented by one whenever a notification is emitted from the agent. This would be included as a varbind for all notifications and this value when read indicates the sequence number of the last transmitted trap. |
| nortelNMIcommonNotiVarbinds | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2 | This OID represents the branch for varbinds that are common to all categories of Nortel NMI Notifications. | ||
| NOR nortelNMInotifyNeType | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2.1 | NortelNMIneType | accessible-for-notify | This variable represents the type of the NE that is being enrolled into the network management domain. NortelNMIneType textual convention is defined at the NORTEL-NMI-TC-MIB. |
| STR nortelNMInotifyNeName | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2.2 | DisplayString | accessible-for-notify | This variable represents the name of the NE that is being enrolled into the network management domain. This name should uniquely identify the NE in the EMS domain across all NE types. The NeName string should be a single word, can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores. No commas, spaces, slashes, hyphens, or dollar signs is allowed. |
| NOR nortelNMInotifyNeAdminState | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2.3 | NortelNMIadminState | accessible-for-notify | This variable presents the administratively assigned state (ITU-T X.731) of the NE. The textual convention NortelNMIadminState defined at NORTEL-NMI-TC-MIB. |
| NOR nortelNMInotifyNeOperState | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2.4 | NortelNMIoperState | accessible-for-notify | This variable presents the current operational state (ITU-T X.731) of the NE. |
| NOR nortelNMInotifyNeUnknownStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.2.5 | NortelNMIunknownStatusValue | accessible-for-notify | This variable presents the NE unknown Status Values as per (ITU-T X.731). The textual convention NortelNMIunknownStatusValue defined at NORTEL-NMI-TC-MIB is of type Truthvalue (SNMPv2-TC). |
| nortelNMIconfigNotiMIB | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.3 | This OID represents the branch for all configuration related Nortel NMI Notifications. | ||
| nortelNMIfaultNotiMIB | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.4 | This OID represents the branch for all fault management related Nortel NMI Notifications. | ||
| nortelNMIinfoNotiMIB | 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.5 | This OID represents the branch for all informational log related Nortel NMI Notifications. |
