Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ExtensionsMIB

Description: Defines SNMP extension objects providing additional management capabilities 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.

This MIB defines vendor extension objects on the Nortel MSC Passport mobile carrier switch that supplement standard interface management with MSC Passport-specific attributes. Its one runtime data table, mscExtensionIfTable, extends the standard interfaces table with additional per-interface attributes, while the bulk of the module (extensionsGroupCA01A and similar deeply nested branches) defines AGENT-CAPABILITIES-style compliance/capability groupings rather than monitorable data. Consequently its monitoring value is limited: it is honestly more of a conformance/extension declaration module indicating which optional interface features a given software release supports, layered on top of the standard interfaces MIB, rather than a rich telemetry source. It depends heavily on the standard IETF interfaces MIB (ifTable/ifIndex) that it extends, plus the Passport component conventions. It is deployed wherever standard interface management needs MSC Passport-specific extension attributes not covered by the base interfaces MIB alone. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ExtensionsMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

The only runtime data table in this module, mscExtensionIfTable/mscExtensionIfEntry, extends the standard interfaces table with MSC Passport-specific per-interface attributes; an administrator would poll it alongside standard interface status objects to get the extra vendor detail for a given interface. The remainder of the module, such as the extensionsGroupCA01A branch, defines capability/compliance groupings rather than monitorable objects, indicating which optional features a software release supports. Because it is largely a conformance/extension declaration rather than a stats-rich MIB, it offers limited monitoring value beyond the single interface extension table.

Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport enterprise extensions MIB for carrier equipment. Extends standard interface table with Nortel-specific component row pointers.
