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-MgmtInterfacesMIB?

Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-MgmtInterfacesMIB is a Nortel proprietary MIB for the MSCarrier/Passport (later Alcatel-Lucent) family of multiservice switching platforms, defining management interface objects for components such as Ethernet management ports and console connections used to administer the switch itself. Its content centers on row-status-driven component tables tracking the presence, storage type, and administrative row status of management-interface components, both at a general and local-component level. As a configuration/inventory-oriented MIB it supports monitoring whether expected management interface components are provisioned (active) and how they are stored (volatile/nonVolatile), functioning as a software-configuration health check for the switch's out-of-band management path rather than exposing performance counters or environmental sensors. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is indicated beyond the vendor's broader MscPassport MIB family conventions. It is typically deployed on legacy Nortel/Bay Networks MscPassport multiservice switching platforms in carrier and enterprise core networks. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-MgmtInterfacesMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-MgmtInterfacesMIB. 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/Bay Networks MscPassport multiservice switching platforms

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll mscNmisRowStatusTable/mscNmisRowStatusEntry, keyed by mscNmisIndex, to check mscNmisRowStatus and mscNmisComponentName for each management-interface component, confirming it reads active rather than notInService or destroyed. The parallel mscNmisLocalRowStatusTable/mscNmisLocalRowStatusEntry provides the same visibility scoped to local management components, letting an operator detect if a local management interface component was unexpectedly deleted or left in a non-active row state. mscNmisStorageType would be checked to confirm whether a given management-interface configuration entry persists across reboots.

What Can Be Monitored

  • management interface component row status
  • component name
  • storage type (volatile/nonvolatile)
  • local management interface row status
