What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VncsCallServerMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VncsCallServerMIB provides SNMP objects for the Virtual Network Call Server (VNCS), the call-processing software component on Magellan Passport switches that manages voice and data call setup. It exposes RowStatus provisioning tables for VNCS components, comment text fields, and a call statistics table (vncsStatsTable) tracking call server activity. This makes the MIB valuable for monitoring the health and load of the call-processing software, since counters that stagnate or spike abnormally in vncsStatsTable can reveal a call server component that has stalled or is overloaded, analogous to monitoring a software service's throughput and error state. It follows the Magellan Passport RowStatus/component conventions shared with other call-processing MIBs on the platform. It is deployed on Magellan Passport switches that provide integrated voice and data call server functionality in carrier networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VncsCallServerMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-Magellan-Passport-VncsCallServerMIB. 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 WAN switch (integrated voice/data call server)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls vncsStatsTable/vncsStatsEntry to track call server activity counters for a given vncsIndex, watching for a plateau that would indicate the VNCS software has stopped processing new calls. vncsRowStatusTable/vncsRowStatusEntry confirms the call server component is still active, and vncsProvTable/vncsProvEntry provisioning values combined with vncsCommentText annotations help operators document and troubleshoot a suspected call server fault.

What Can Be Monitored

  • call server row status
  • call statistics
  • provisioning parameters
  • operator comment text
  • component storage type
