What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-BaseRoutingMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-BaseRoutingMIB is a Nortel enterprise MIB for the Magellan Passport wide-area switching platform, providing base IP routing configuration objects including static routes, routing table provisioning, and routing component row-status management. It exposes configuration-oriented data - routing component names, storage type, provisioning table entries, and splitting-region identifiers used to partition the routing table across processing regions. Its main monitoring value is administrative/configuration status rather than raw hardware sensors: an operator can check rtgRowStatus and rtgProvTable entries to confirm a routing component is correctly provisioned and active, which indirectly reflects the health of the routing software on the Passport node. It depends on standard SNMPv2 row-status and storage-type textual conventions (RowStatus, StorageType) for table lifecycle management. It is deployed in legacy Nortel Magellan Passport WAN switching environments where IP routing components are provisioned and monitored via SNMP. Compiling the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-BaseRoutingMIB file alongside the platform's standard RowStatus and StorageType conventions is a prerequisite for any tool that wants to poll or provision these routing components.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-Magellan-Passport-BaseRoutingMIB. 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

  • Nortel Magellan Passport WAN switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rtgRowStatusTable/rtgRowStatusEntry to confirm that a routing component identified by rtgComponentName and rtgIndex has rtgRowStatus set to active, and would check rtgProvTable/rtgProvEntry for provisioning parameters like rtgTandemTraffic. The rtgSplittingRegionIdsTable/rtgSplittingRegionIdsEntry would be checked to verify routing table partitioning across regions is configured as expected. A row stuck in a notReady or notInService rtgRowStatus would reveal a failed or incomplete routing component provisioning operation on the Passport node.

What Can Be Monitored

  • routing component row status
  • routing component provisioning parameters
  • tandem traffic configuration
  • routing table splitting region assignment

FAQ

What can an operator confirm about IP routing on a Magellan Passport switch using this MIB?
By checking rtgRowStatus and rtgProvTable entries, they can confirm that a given routing component is correctly provisioned and active, which indirectly signals the health of the routing software on that Passport node, plus review static routes and how the routing table is split across processing regions.

Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-BaseRoutingMIB used for hardware sensors or configuration status?
It's mainly configuration/administrative status rather than raw hardware sensors -- routing component names, storage type, provisioning entries, and splitting-region identifiers -- so it's used to verify routing is provisioned correctly rather than to read temperature or power readings.
