What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ProvisioningMIB?

Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ProvisioningMIB provides SNMP objects for general service provisioning and configuration management on Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport switches, acting as a common provisioning layer used across the platform's services. It exposes RowStatus provisioning tables for provisioning components alongside a state table (mscProvStateTable) carrying the classic administrative, operational, and usage state triad (mscProvAdminState, mscProvOperationalState, mscProvUsageState). This state triad is the MIB's core monitoring value, since mscProvOperationalState directly reports whether a provisioned component's hardware/software is up, down, or degraded, while mscProvUsageState reveals whether it is idle, active, or busy, together giving a standard status view across many services on the switch. It follows the RowStatus/component conventions of the MsCarrier MscPassport MIB suite and implements the ITU-T X.731-style administrative/operational/usage state model. It is deployed platform-wide on MscPassport switches wherever a service component needs a standardized status/provisioning view. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ProvisioningMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ProvisioningMIB. 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 (general provisioning layer)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls mscProvStateTable/mscProvStateEntry for a given mscProvIndex to compare mscProvAdminState against mscProvOperationalState; if the component is administratively unlocked but operationally disabled, that combination flags a hardware or software fault rather than a deliberate configuration change. mscProvUsageState is checked to see whether the component is currently idle or fully busy, and mscProvRowStatusTable/mscProvRowStatusEntry confirms the underlying provisioning entry itself is active.

What Can Be Monitored

  • administrative state
  • operational state
  • usage state
  • provisioning row status
  • storage type
