What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-McsMgrMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-McsMgrMIB is a Nortel Magellan Passport component MIB for the Multicast Server (MCS) Manager, the function that manages multicast endpoint groups for ATM point-to-multipoint services. It defines row status and provisioning tables for MCS Manager instances, along with capacity and alarm parameters such as the maximum number of endpoints and an endpoint alarm threshold, plus an NSAP address override for ATM addressing. Polling this MIB lets an operator monitor the operational status of the multicast server component and watch endpoint usage against the configured alarm threshold, which is effectively a capacity/fault-monitoring function for this piece of switch software and hardware. It follows the same RowStatus/StorageType and component-index conventions used across the Passport MIB family, and depends on ATM NSAP addressing concepts for its override object. It applies to Nortel Magellan Passport ATM switches deployed in carrier ATM backbone networks running multicast services. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-McsMgrMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-Magellan-Passport-McsMgrMIB. 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 administrator checks mcsMgrRowStatusTable and mcsMgrProvTable (via mcsMgrIndex) to confirm the Multicast Server Manager component is active, then compares current endpoint count against mcsMgrMaxEps and mcsMgrEpAlarmThreshold to see whether the component is close to exhausting its multicast endpoint capacity. mcsMgrOverrideNsapAddress shows whether a non-default ATM NSAP address has been assigned to the manager. Sustained proximity to the alarm threshold signals a need to redistribute multicast load or add capacity.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MCS Manager component status
  • multicast endpoint count vs. maximum
  • endpoint alarm threshold
  • NSAP address override
  • component storage type
