What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-McsMgrMIB?

This MIB module is part of Nortel's (later Alcatel-Lucent's) MsCarrier MscPassport family of proprietary MIBs for the Passport ATM/frame-relay wide-area switching platform, specifically covering the Multicast Server Manager (MCS Manager) component used to manage multicast connection endpoints. It exposes provisioning and row-status tables that track the configuration state, storage type, and administrative index of MCS Manager instances, along with operational limits such as maximum endpoints and alarm thresholds. Because MscPassport MIBs use the vendor's generic component/row-status modeling pattern, this module is primarily used to monitor the software configuration status (active/notReady/createAndGo) of multicast server components rather than raw hardware sensors, letting an operator confirm a given MCS Manager instance is provisioned and operational and catch endpoint counts approaching alarm thresholds. It depends on the shared MsCarrier/Passport component-naming and row-status conventions used across the whole MscPassport MIB family. This MIB is deployed exclusively on legacy Nortel/Alcatel Passport ATM carrier switches running multicast server services in service-provider core networks. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-McsMgrMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-McsMgrMIB. 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/Alcatel-Lucent Passport ATM switch
  • MscPassport carrier switching platform

Monitoring Examples

An operator polling mscMcsMgrProvTable can read mscMcsMgrMaxEps (maximum endpoints) alongside mscMcsMgrEpAlarmThreshold to detect when a multicast server manager instance is nearing its provisioned endpoint capacity. Cross-referencing mscMcsMgrRowStatusTable's mscMcsMgrRowStatus for a given mscMcsMgrIndex confirms whether the row is active or has failed to come into service. A row stuck in notInService/notReady state, or an endpoint count approaching mscMcsMgrEpAlarmThreshold, signals a provisioning fault or capacity exhaustion needing attention.

What Can Be Monitored

  • multicast server manager row status
  • maximum endpoints provisioned
  • endpoint alarm threshold
  • component storage type
  • MCS manager configuration state
