What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-HdlcTransparentMIB?

This is a Nortel proprietary MIB for the MainStreet/MSCarrier Passport multiservice switching platform, managing HDLC-transparent circuit emulation service components used to carry raw HDLC traffic transparently across the switch fabric. It exposes configuration tables for HDLC-transparent service components (mscHtds), including row status, storage type, per-component identifiers, customer identifier associations, and links to the underlying interface entries. Its monitoring role centers on the operational/provisioning status of HDLC circuits: confirming a component's row status is active, that its customer identifier mapping is correct, and that it is correctly bound to the underlying physical interface (mscHtdsIfEntryTable), which reveals a misprovisioned or inactive circuit-emulation service. As part of the Passport MIB family it depends on, and integrates with, other MsCarrier Passport component and interface MIBs for full circuit visibility. It is deployed on Nortel/MsCarrier Passport switches providing legacy HDLC transparent transport services to carrier customers. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-HdlcTransparentMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-HdlcTransparentMIB. 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 Passport switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check mscHtdsRowStatusTable/mscHtdsRowStatusEntry to confirm an HDLC-transparent component's mscHtdsRowStatus is active, and cross-reference mscHtdsCidDataTable's mscHtdsCustomerIdentifier to verify the circuit is mapped to the correct customer. The mscHtdsIfEntryTable ties the component to its underlying physical interface, so a component with an active row status but no valid interface binding would indicate a provisioning gap preventing the circuit from carrying traffic.

What Can Be Monitored

  • HDLC-transparent component row status
  • customer identifier mapping
  • component-to-interface binding
  • component storage type
