What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ModCommonMIB?
Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ModCommonMIB is a Nortel-proprietary MIB providing objects common across all module/card types on the Nortel MSCarrier MscPassport wide-area switching platform (used historically for Frame Relay/ATM carrier services). It exposes shared configuration constructs like row-status-controlled tables for module components (e.g., Frame Relay-related row status entries) that individual module-type MIBs build upon. Its relevance to monitoring is largely about configuration/provisioning state of switch modules and their sub-components—tracking whether a given module component's row is active, being created, or has failed to provision—rather than raw hardware counters. It depends on the base MscPassport platform MIB framework and is used alongside module-type-specific MIBs (e.g., Frame Relay, ATM) that reference these common objects, and every dependent module-type MIB imports its row-status definitions from the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ModCommonMIB OID tree, making this common module a mandatory compile-time dependency. It is deployed on Nortel/Alcatel-Lucent-descended MscPassport carrier WAN switches used for Frame Relay/ATM services in service-provider backbones.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ModCommonMIB. 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.
What Can Be Monitored
- module component provisioning/row status
- Frame Relay component configuration state
- row storage type (volatile/non-volatile)
Supported Devices
- Nortel MSCarrier MscPassport wide-area switching platform
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll mscModFrsRowStatusTable/mscModFrsRowStatusEntry, indexed by mscModFrsIndex, checking mscModFrsRowStatus and mscModFrsComponentName to confirm a Frame Relay-related module component was successfully provisioned and is active rather than stuck notInService or notReady. The mscModFrsStorageType object would also be checked to confirm whether the row's configuration will survive a reboot (non-volatile) or not. Persistent rows failing to reach active status would flag a module provisioning or hardware-insertion issue.
