Description: Manages Nortel Magellan Passport Inverse Multiplexing over ATM group configuration and link status.

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.

What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-ImaMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-ImaMIB manages Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) groups on Magellan Passport switches, a technology that bonds multiple physical links into a single higher-bandwidth logical ATM link. It exposes RowStatus provisioning tables for IMA group components along with configuration objects like link selection criteria, maximum differential delay, and link retry timeout. The MIB is central to monitoring IMA group hardware health, since differential delay approaching lpImaMaxDiffDelay or a link repeatedly hitting lpImaLinkRetryTimeout indicates a failing physical link within the bundle, letting operators detect degraded bonded-link capacity before the whole group fails. It shares the Magellan Passport RowStatus/component conventions and implements the ATM Forum IMA specification for multi-link bonding. It is deployed on Magellan Passport switches where physical links are bonded via IMA to increase available WAN bandwidth. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-ImaMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An operator monitors lpImaProvTable/lpImaProvEntry to check the configured lpImaLinkSelectionCriterion, lpImaMaxDiffDelay, and lpImaLinkRetryTimeout for an IMA group (lpImaIndex), then watches for a member link exceeding the differential delay threshold, which signals a cabling or timing problem on that specific physical link. lpImaRowStatusTable/lpImaRowStatusEntry confirms whether the IMA group component itself remains active despite the degraded link, and lpImaTest objects can be invoked for further link diagnostics.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IMA group row status
  • link selection criterion
  • maximum differential delay
  • link retry timeout
  • component storage type
