Description: Manages Nortel Magellan Passport IP class of service mapping, DSCP marking, and queue assignment.

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-IpCosMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-IpCosMIB is a Nortel enterprise MIB for the Magellan Passport multiservice switching platform, managing IP class-of-service (CoS) mapping, DSCP marking, and queue assignment for IP traffic traversing the switch. It exposes row-status-controlled configuration tables for CoS policy groups, user assignments to those groups, and policy definitions, all following Nortel's characteristic virtual-router (vr) component-based provisioning model. Its relevance to device monitoring is primarily configuration-status oriented: administrators use it to verify that CoS policy provisioning (row status, component name, storage type) has been correctly applied and is active, which affects how traffic is queued and marked across the switch fabric. It is a Nortel Passport-specific MIB built on the platform's own virtual-router/component provisioning architecture rather than a standard IETF DiffServ MIB, though it serves an analogous CoS/QoS purpose. It is deployed on Nortel Magellan Passport multiservice switches in carrier and large enterprise WAN backbones handling mixed IP/ATM/Frame Relay traffic. Engineers can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-IpCosMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks vrIpPgRowStatusTable (vrIpPgRowStatusEntry, keyed by vrIpPgIndex) to confirm a CoS policy group's vrIpPgRowStatus is active rather than stuck in a notReady or notInService state after provisioning. The vrIpPgUsersTable (vrIpPgUsersEntry, vrIpPgUsersValue, vrIpPgUsersRowStatus) is then reviewed to verify the expected set of users/interfaces has been correctly assigned to that CoS policy group, and vrIpPgPolicyRowStatusTable entries are checked to confirm the DSCP marking/queue policy itself is properly instantiated.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CoS policy group row status
  • user/interface CoS group assignment
  • policy provisioning status
  • component storage type
