NTWS-RF-DETECT-TC

Description: Defines textual conventions for RF signal classification and rogue device types in Nortel NTWS detection MIBs.

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.

NTWS-RF-DETECT-TC is a Nortel Networks Wireless Switch (NTWS) textual-conventions module that defines shared data types used by Nortel's wireless LAN switch RF security/detection MIBs, rather than a functional MIB with its own management objects. It establishes standardized enumerations and type definitions for classifying RF signals and rogue/interfering wireless devices detected by Nortel wireless switches and access points. As a pure textual-convention module it has no runtime data itself, and its monitoring relevance is indirect: it supplies the type vocabulary that other Nortel NTWS MIBs use to report actual rogue-AP detection, interference, and RF security status. It is inherently dependent on being imported by other Nortel NTWS functional MIBs (e.g., wireless intrusion detection/RF management modules) that reference these types. It is used in Nortel wireless LAN switch/controller deployments as supporting infrastructure for wireless security and RF monitoring MIBs. Engineers can download the NTWS-RF-DETECT-TC file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This module defines no tables or scalar objects of its own — no sample objects were extracted — so there is no direct monitoring scenario to describe; instead, other Nortel NTWS MIBs import its textual-convention type definitions to classify a detected device or RF condition when reporting status. An administrator would encounter these types indirectly, for example seeing a rogue-device classification rendered using an enumeration defined here when browsing a Nortel wireless switch's RF detection table. Because it carries no OIDs of managed objects, it cannot be polled directly for status.
