What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-StateSummaryMIB?

This MIB module provides state summary functionality for the Nortel Magellan Passport WAN switch, aggregating operational health information across all major hardware and software components on the node into a single summarized view, as its module description explicitly states. It exposes a component-class table (compClassTable) that groups components by class/type and tracks, per class, the number currently down (numberDown) and the number in a troubled/degraded state (numberTroubled), along with timestamps of the last state or table change. This is explicitly a hardware/software health-monitoring MIB: it gives operators a fast top-level check of overall switch health without polling every individual component subsystem, flagging fault conditions across cards, links, and processes. It complements the many component-specific Passport MIBs (hunt groups, ATM, LEC, etc.) by rolling their individual states up into this summary, depending conceptually on the state conventions used throughout the Magellan Passport MIB suite. It is typically deployed as the first-line health dashboard data source when monitoring a Nortel Magellan Passport switch. Engineers can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-StateSummaryMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll compClassTable/compClassEntry to read numberDown and numberTroubled for each compClass (e.g., a card type or protocol component class), immediately spotting which component category has failures without walking every individual component MIB. Checking timeOfLastStateStatusChange and timeOfLastStateSummTableChange reveals when the last fault event occurred, helping correlate an alarm with a recent state transition. A nonzero numberDown for a critical compClass like a trunk card would trigger deeper investigation into that specific component MIB.

What Can Be Monitored

number of components down per class
number of components troubled per class
time of last state status change
time of last table change
component class summary

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using numberDown OID:

Select a Nortel Magellan Passport WAN switch (aggregated component state summary) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type numberDown into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of component instances that are down. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
stateSummary	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5
timeOfLastTableChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.1
TIK timeOfLastStateSummTableChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.1.1	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime at the time that an entry in the compClassTable detected a change.
compClassTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2		not-accessible	A list of component classes that have state information summaries.
compClassEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1		not-accessible	A component class entry.
OID compClass	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1.1	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	An object identifier which points to the SNMP Mib Arc for that particular component class. For example, a replication of 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.12 (iso.org.dod. internet.private.enterprises.nortel.magellan.passport. components.lp) corresponds to the Lp component class.
STR compName	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1.2	DisplayString	read-only	The string representation of the component class object identifier. For example, 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.12 (iso.org. dod.internet.private.enterprises.nortel.magellan.passport. components.lp) is represented as the string, LogicalProcessor.
TIK timeOfLastStateStatusChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1.3	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime when an OsiState or OsiStateStatus change was detected for the component class. Currently monitored attributes include: AdminState, OperationalState, AvailabilityStatus and AlarmStatus.
G32 numberDownEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1.4	Gauge32	read-only	The number of component instances that are down. A component is considered down when its administrative state is locked or its operational state is disabled.
G32 numberTroubled	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.5.2.1.5	Gauge32	read-only	The number of component instances that are troubled. A component is considered troubled when its administrative status is shuttingDown or its alarm status is not empty or its availability status is degraded.
stateSummaryMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.2.7			This MIB module specifies the variables used to implement the Nortel Magellan Passport state summary functionality.
stateSummaryGroupBE00A	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.2.7.1.3.2.2
stateSummaryCapabilitiesBE00A	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.2.7.3.3.2.2
