Description: Provides SNMP objects for DPRS MCS endpoint configuration and statistics on Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport switches.

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-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DprsMcsEpMIB?

This is a proprietary Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport MIB for legacy Nortel Passport carrier WAN switches, covering DPRS MCS endpoint group configuration used in the platform's packet relay service component. It exposes row-status-based provisioning objects (component name, storage type, index) for MCS endpoint groups plus an operational table carrying remote address and associated endpoint-group binding information. Its monitoring value lies mainly in software/service provisioning status: RowStatus values reveal whether an endpoint group is active, not-in-service, or stuck mid-provisioning, which is effectively how the health of this WAN service component is tracked. It relies on Nortel's proprietary Magellan/MsCarrier enterprise SMI conventions rather than standard IETF MIBs. It is typically deployed on legacy Nortel Passport carrier-grade WAN switches used by telecom carriers for packet relay services, now largely end-of-life equipment. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DprsMcsEpMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DprsMcsEpMIB. 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 MsCarrier MscPassport WAN switch
  • legacy Nortel Passport carrier switch

Monitoring Examples

An admin could poll mscMcsMgrDprsMcsEpGRowStatusTable's mscMcsMgrDprsMcsEpGRowStatus to confirm an endpoint group is active rather than notInService or stuck in createAndWait, which would indicate a provisioning problem. mscMcsMgrDprsMcsEpGOperTable exposes mscMcsMgrDprsMcsEpGRemoteAddress and mscMcsMgrDprsMcsEpGAssociatedEpGroupName, letting the operator confirm the endpoint is bound to the correct remote peer and endpoint group. A mismatch or unexpected RowStatus transition would reveal a misconfigured or failed DPRS MCS endpoint.

What Can Be Monitored

  • endpoint group row status (active/notInService)
  • remote address of DPRS MCS endpoint
  • associated endpoint group name
  • storage type of endpoint configuration
  • endpoint group index/component name
