What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FrTraceRcvrMIB?

This is a vendor-specific MIB from Nortel for its MainStreet Carrier / Passport (MscPassport) multiservice switching platform, defining objects for a Frame Relay trace receiver used to capture diagnostic traces of Frame Relay traffic. It exposes row-status-controlled tables for configuring trace receiver instances and their associated DNA (data network address) components, using standard RowStatus/StorageType conventions for dynamic creation and deletion of trace sessions. Its monitoring role is largely configuration/diagnostic in nature rather than continuous hardware telemetry: administrators create and check mscTraceRcvrFrRowStatusTable entries to confirm a trace capture session is active, storage type is set appropriately (volatile vs. nonvolatile), and the correct component/DNA is being traced, which is used to diagnose Frame Relay circuit problems on demand. It depends on Nortel's broader MscPassport Frame Relay and trace-receiver MIB family and the standard SNMPv2 RowStatus textual convention. It is deployed on Nortel Passport/MscPassport multiservice switches in carrier Frame Relay networks for on-demand traffic tracing during troubleshooting. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FrTraceRcvrMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FrTraceRcvrMIB. 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 MainStreet Carrier / Passport (MscPassport) multiservice switch

Monitoring Examples

A technician creates an entry in mscTraceRcvrFrRowStatusTable/mscTraceRcvrFrRowStatusEntry, setting mscTraceRcvrFrRowStatus to active and mscTraceRcvrFrComponentName to the Frame Relay component being diagnosed, using mscTraceRcvrFrIndex to identify the trace session and mscTraceRcvrFrStorageType to control whether it persists across reboots. The companion mscTraceRcvrFrDnaRowStatusTable (mscTraceRcvrFrDnaRowStatusEntry, mscTraceRcvrFrDnaComponentName) associates a specific DNA/circuit with the trace, letting the operator isolate captured traffic to one Frame Relay path while diagnosing intermittent packet loss.

What Can Be Monitored

  • trace receiver session status (row status)
  • trace receiver storage type (volatile/nonvolatile)
  • traced Frame Relay component/DNA association
  • trace session index/identity
