What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-FrTraceRcvrMIB?

This MIB manages the Frame Relay trace receiver function on Nortel's Magellan Passport switching platform, used to configure buffers for capturing and retrieving Frame Relay protocol traces. It belongs to the Nortel legacy Frame Relay WAN switching technology area. It exposes provisioning and row-status tables for trace receiver instances and their associated DNA (Distributed Network Architecture) addressing components, following the Passport platform's component/row-status model. Its role is in configuring and confirming trace-capture capability status, verifying a trace receiver component is provisioned and active before capturing frames for diagnosing a Frame Relay signaling or data problem, making it primarily a diagnostic/troubleshooting tool rather than a continuous health monitor. It follows Nortel Passport's shared component-naming and row-status conventions common to sibling Passport MIBs. It is typically deployed on Nortel Magellan Passport switches by network engineers troubleshooting Frame Relay circuit issues. Engineers can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-FrTraceRcvrMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An engineer would query traceRcvrFrRowStatusTable/traceRcvrFrRowStatus to confirm a Frame Relay trace receiver component is active before initiating a capture, and traceRcvrFrDnaRowStatusTable/traceRcvrFrDnaRowStatus to verify the associated DNA addressing entry is correctly provisioned. If a row remains in a non-active state, this would indicate the trace receiver failed to provision, preventing frame capture needed to diagnose an ongoing Frame Relay problem. This MIB is used episodically during troubleshooting rather than for continuous performance monitoring.

What Can Be Monitored

  • trace receiver component status
  • trace receiver row/administrative status
  • DNA addressing entry status
